Actually, I wouldn't really call that cheese, at least not until I hear
your weapons loadout on the Titans. In Epic 2nd, unscrupulous players
would drop three one-shots and a Plasma Destructor on their Warlord
Titans (the text for the Vortex missile didn't state it was carapace
mount only), and *that* was cheesy. Your force isn't entirely
*balanced*, but since I'm working on a Titan Legion (*only* Titans) I
can't complain that much.

Well, if the battle is large enough you might want another Warlord, but
since the Dom is well-equipped with anti-tank (drop shields) and a Death
Ray (finish titan) I wouldn't recommend a force of 'em. (Not that it'll
stop me from trying one day, I'm sure....)
