The uniforms of the random female NPCs in the early part of Advent Rising are really, really short. One-piece miniskirt short.

I think the primary reason why I do so well with the Tau in Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, far out of proportion to the other races, is that I play the Tau like how I'm supposed to play the Imperial Guard: spam basic units to the unit cap, and then tech them up to ridiculous levels.
