        That won't work. He stated, I think, that these are
long-ranged Titans, which sounds like an automatic FF order to me. If
they're on FF, they won't be moving very far.

        I think you just need to place your Devastators better. I
think I need to have 6 Jetbikes CC the Titan for one of them to get an
advantage on it, and I'm not going to be able to fit 15 bikes around
the Titan no matter what I do. So my best guess is that you're being
mobbed by 10 bikes, and you'll want to shoot 5 of them down. If you
took a custom head other than the Deathstrike, that will either give
you another shot on the bikes or raise your CC so the 6th bike
probably won't do anything...
        Between the CMLs and the Head, you'll probably take out one or
two bikes, leaving only 3-4 for the Devastators to take out.

        All bets are off if the bikes can't be shot at. You're about
as screwed as a second turn T-hawk attack.
