Yeah, but when they're all you have to go on and you write something completely different, that makes you a moron.

Like that guy. ;)
Gav Thorpe had been in the GW games design team for a good while when he wrote the Last Chancers books. It's probably safe to assume that he knew all the game rules. Especially because he's got a "special thanks" credit in the 3rd edition Codex: Tau.

On topic;

I'm going to have to go back and reread it, but IIRC the Tau did have indirect fire support assets that they used in 'Courage and Honor', and quite extensively too in certain engagements. I'll investigate and post any relevant quotes later. I don't think there were any new platforms, just use of existing platforms in a different way.
