Not quite. A Mega Cannon "attack" consits of placin the template and rolling
to hit everything under it. Thus, a titan with three MegaCannon would
place 3 blast markers for firing three MC's, plus a fourth blast marker
should he happen to actually hit something. This was handled in an earlier
Q&A with Jervis, and is on my web pages.
Trust me, this is quite deadly. Lately I keep facing off against two three-
Goliath detachments when playing my Squat opponent. Taking 6 automatic
blast markers (8 if he scores hits) is a *major* pain in the butt.
You can't hide; they have a 125cm range and the artillary ability.
