I know they do a lot of business, haven't heard good or bad in
particular. My experiences buying on the net have been absolutely good
(so far).

Titans can't be given orders, by the way - they're always on their own
version of assault. Move twice, shoot as normal. The fact that you won
initiative just means that you had a chance to move/assault/firefight
first. Each side does everything in a package rather than alternating
as in the shooting phase.

First the assaulting side moves. Then you resolve assaults, which will
most likely end up with a dead jetbike squad and a broken jetbike
detachment. Anything still within 15cm after the close combat then
firefights. If you think the Titans are going to get within 15cm in
their phase, it's best to just get it over with and firefight them in
yours when you can make sure your deployment is as good as possible.
