As I've never seen a copy of Titan Legions, I'll have to accept that
the rules are as you have stated them.
In which case, it seems inconsistant that you have to reach the
titans legs to attack it in hand to hand, but you can be pinned by
the base. However I realise that it would be unworkable to have to
touch the feet to be pinned, so willing to accept some reason why you
can be pinned ny the base.

This aside, I like this theory. It makes sense(mostly) and solves
the H-t-H problem.
