Actually I rarely lose titans... when I do decide to take them. I
jsut
feel it's an abuse of the rules to allow a couple hundred points of
cannon fodder take out a 900 point unit.

woo woo... i've been playing since AT as well... and just so you know
10 infantry stands fit around the reaver/warlord base just fine...
you
must have bigger infantry stands than I do.

Good point.. i'll concede that.

What army doens't have fire support?
Every army has access to titans...

As i've stated time and time again. No I don't want them to be
invulnerable in Close assault. I just don't want them getting geeked
by 200 points worth of throw away troops.

Ahem. I disagree... but there's no need to shout.

Great... so eldar exarchs should be able to take them one on one by
that line of reasoning... superior armour ancient artefact weapons...
not to mention superior stats to any Terminator...

Look. All i'm trying to do is keep people honest... no matter what
rule we come up with someone is going to do his best to find a
loophole to exploit it... that's the way these things seem to work.
I admit that I like to use titans... they're way more fun to paint
than massed infantry and they look better on the table... but the way
the rules are now and in Titan Legions you're at a disadvantage if
you
 take titans... you get more firepower and better survivability out
of
tanks... if that's so then what is the point of even including them
in
the game in the first place??
