Where does it say this? I looked in the Titan Weapon section. All it
said is that they are mounted on the banner poles, not that they have
rear 180 degree arc of fire. IMHO, 360 is more reasonable. This would
allow Titans to have a degree of point defense (like the Imperator's
ungodly number of bolter emplacements), which would toughen them up
against CC somewhat, which is a good thing, IMHO.
