Well, I don't know all of the dimensions, but it was about 150cm wide,
and at least that long, probably about 200 cm though.

The Warlord Titan's Heavy Weapons battery arc wouldn't allow it to shoot
at the detachment that got within 30cm of it.

                      Warlord
                        / (Warlord's facing, towards the bottom of the page)
         Detachment 1
        (Big Gunz)
                                        Detachment 2
                                          (Ork Warlord)

The Warlord Titan's Heavy Weapons Battery was on its left arm, so could only
fire at Detachment 2.

Yes, I realize that, but it probably would have been better if I had.
It might have saved me a couple of units, thereby allowing (possibly)
another turn to go, as I would have had more morale because I might not
have been reduced to half strength.

I'm pretty sure he was too far away. He was with the detachment that
was in the Warlord Titan's firing arc, but more than 45cm away (that's
why the Titan got screwed the first turn).

Hehe. Sure would! :)

Thanks for the response! Hope I cleared things up. If you want, I can make
more ASCII maps for each of the turns (one for each, that is).
