Tau: First game with em

Last week I played a game of 40k with an army I had only previously killed in battle. The Tau, they are a fun and powerful race to play.(if you know what ur doing, i dont) It was an objective game that had 3 cpature and hold objectives. I copied an idea i saw while watching Miniwargamer on youtube, where you gain a point for every objective you hold at the end of each turn. I only did this because I was playing against space marines who had a dreadnought and terminators. So being Tau I easily tok the objectives quickly.(thanks to my 5 troops on the field) They sat and camped the objectives and shot any power armor in crusted space marine stubborn enough to wonder near. After shooting the face off of  4 marines i charged in with my HQ and assaulted the living warp out of the tacical squad. Mean while my single crisis siute sat and distracted the terminators. My largest squad of fire warriors poked their heads out of cover long enough to rapid fire 24 pulse rifle shots into the steel wall that are space marines. They were aiming on killing the 10 tactical marines camping an objective. They succeded in killing 3 on first shooting phase. This whole back and forth thing whent on for another hour and a half until I finally won by wiping out all of the spacemarine troops on the field. I won 5-4.
