        I thought the arrow inside the square was still used as a
direction if you rolled a "hit". Either that, or we were playing the
scatter rules all wrong. It would have resulted in a lot more of my
Titans dying and a lot more Doomweavers, I'll tell you that. :) Time
to dig up the SM/TL books. :(

        Well, assuming I was willing to push something larger than an
infantryman with my WSes, it's still unlikely. Void shields, to the
best of my knowledge, stop a Wave Serpent cold. The odds aren't that
great for a Titan to not regenerate a single shield, and the only way
to drop them before the WS goes is with snap-fire. My Firestorms went
fairly quickly (They attracted indirect fire almost as much as my
titans), and then the T-hawk would come and eat an objective. I hated
them too, never found a good counter to them.
