Yeah - the only point of contention was what happens when a titan is hit
with 1 - 7 FP;
then the placing of BM's is contingent on the result of the hit. But the
bit in the description of the Save special ability -

"...Blast markers are still placed on units which make their save."

pretty well invalidates that point.

Time for a new thread? :)
