In case of warhounds and other scout titan dets you do NOT select an HQ as
there is no chain of command.
If 2 warhounds seperate (are 31+cm away from each other) I would expect
the HQ to carry on unmolested and the other to stop acting.
However: There IS NO HQ at the beginning of the game!!!
So which titan should carry on and which one stops? Decide randomly?
Surely not. Pick one during the game? No, would be more powerful than
infantry/vehicle rules.

My group always plays that both can act normally but can not voluntarily
seperate. If it happens accidentally they just have to move closer
together in the next movement/assault phase. If one is immobile the other
can go away and continue to fight normally.
