I have to agree here. Maybe Eldar titans would be agile enough, but if an
Imperial titan tried to "Stomp" some infantry they'd have plenty of time to
re-locate and get out of the way. Its a bit like the attack of the killer
slugs.
"RUN!! They're coming!!"
.......long pause......
"They're still coming!"
........long pause.......
"They're Sti.... Ah Hell - anyone fancy a drink down the pub whilst we wait
for them?"

I'd prefer to see it go with the bolter arrays but I guess you could put in
a generic attack to represent either bolter fire OR "Stomping". The actual
events taking place would be decided by the player depending on their own
iews and which titan is being used I suppose.

Only 6 stands able to attack does make sense to me. No matter how many men
you have piling in against the war machine, there's only going to be so many
that can actually make contact with it to do any damage. If you had one
infantry command stand / character and your opponent wanted to charge a
whole company of cheap infantry against it would you not complain saying
only 4 of those could make it into combat?
