I'm leaning towards that idea. I was thinking I could use it as a
scenario/objective. Put the destroyed Titan in the middle of the board
and award an extra 5-10 vp to the first army that can hold the objective
(with one stand touching the Titan/head) for two turns. Maybe say that
even then you don't get the points until you carry a piece off the board
(wasn't one of the 'new' objectives from WD something like that?).
Say there was information stored in it that both sides want. Just a
thought.

I have to say I agree. I would love to do involved terrain, but I don't
really have the time or ambition. Simple terrain, that can be 'mass
produced' is the best IMHO. Though I love to look at the good stuff.
