with only a one in six chance of beating me,Im never turnin off my infantry
countermeasures.Infantry isnt the problem,its eldar titans VS
superheavies/praetorians/knights/other titans.

My personal choice.

Another option,if you consider infantry a serious threat to titans,would be
to introduce a "stomp" attack: Used in the movement phase,any infantry model
the base passes over is destroyed unless it can make a dodge save on a 4+. I
dont see infantry as all that bad (its what I have jetbikes and scorpions
for : ) ,but it seems like a reasonable ability for a titan to have.But it
would have to be not just eldar,but all titans in order to be fair.
