The Ball Round is really very simple. You fire it and place the template
where you want it within range and fire arc. Then roll for scatter as per
an indirect barrage. Place the template at its new position. Now roll 4D6
and move the template this many centimetres IN A STRAIGHT LINE AWAY from
the gargant. ANYTHING that falls under the impact point and path of the
ball template is automatically hit with a -4 save. NASTY weapon.

If it hits a Titan, it kills all the shields (at my club we said that for
each shield killed the Ball loses 1cm of roll due to the loss of energy in
killing the shield) and causes an automatic hit to the bottom row of the
Titan. Logic dictates that you don't roll for scatter on the Titan
Template as the Ball can ONLY hit the lowest locations as it is rolling
along the ground. If you think you still should, I'd only roll the "Left
Right" dice to show it could deviate only in the one axis.
