Again I don't see the problem, why you should overlap titan & infantry
with barrages?
the rule is: target the titan => scatter _not_ target some place then if
a titan it's under the template, scatter....

Ah ah ah!!! no rules say you can do it, why you should allow poeople to
"transport" models on bases, some of my opponent tried to do it years
ago, I'm still laughing :PPPPP.

Obviuosly, the scattered template affect the troops it lands on, try to
tell a granade you're not it's main target :)

I see no loophole, only stupid personal interpretation of rules, like
most of my opponent did at the beginning of our gaming group, such
gamers can only be mocking at,
and if you cannot control such stupidity in your opponent, well came
play with us I can show you players you'd never dreamed of even in your
worst nightmare :)
