Oh, don't get me wrong, I like what you said. Just pointing out that as it
stands it would SERIOUSLY alter the game balance. It would also force
players to get special vehicles to deal with the new much more powerful
Titans.
Then what do we do about Knights for example?
Do we modifiy weapon target save modifiers? How would that balance the
non-shielded units?
If I took one Titan with the new rules against standard units would it be
worth too much? (we would have to seriously increase Titan point costs).
And if they cost too much why not just use Adeptus Titanicus? We would be in
the same position (uber-Titans vs squisshie tanks and infantry).
