 No I haven't, because I don't think this is how the rule was intented
 to be. JJ and AC warned us about reading too much into the text of the
 rules a long time ago. And everyone knows that GW is the worst in
 writing clear rule text.
 Also, this would, IMHO, totally unbalance the game in favor of titan
 armies.
