Escape Pods

If a Tau Flyer is destroyed, nominate a point on the table and scatter the pod 2D6" as with the rules for Deep Strike. If the pod scatters so that it is off-table is is counted as being destroyed. If not, place 2 Tau models within 2" of it (count as Fire Warriors with no weapons). The crew as counted as being below half strength and are worth zero Victory Points on their own, but their vehicle counts as only being damaged for Victory Point purposes whilst either of the crew is still alive or if they reach the table edge for any reason.
