I thought we devalued the point system to eliminate rounding errors?

While I've favoured everything making Titans stronger until now, and liked
most of your post, I do not like this. I want strong Titans, but not
virtually unkillable Titans. That halving the damage means that infantry
will need sixes and fives to inflict any damage the Titan will notice. I
support all of your ideas but this one.

And in the old rules, despite Titans being very tough, which I liked, an
army that wasn't primarily Titans _always_ lost, which I didn't like. A
single Warhound detachment could just run up and down enemy vehicle and
infantry lines and slaughter them all with complete ease. So this rules
system of yours is playtested? What were the results?
