This is Rumor Control, blah,blah blah.....
Broken detachments in CC will retreat after they have taken casualties...
so all the units get smashed and the rest in the detachment that are
still living will break and run for it. Depending on how much you win the
combat by determines the chance of killing an opponent (if you beat him by
4 you kill an opponent on a 2+ etc...)

even have a card Gargant (like the Imperator card in TL) included. Since
no Titan _models_ are in the box I'd assumed a seperate box set of titans
to be available.
