 Sounds reasonable, although some might argue that skimmers should be
 able to charge anyway, since they are skimmers. :-/ I agree that this
 is a great rule with all ground troops, but I don't think I could
 convince my eldar opponent to use this with his jet bikes. :)

 Well, my example assumed that the titan moves first, then gets swamped
 by jet bikes and then the infantry move. With alternating movement,
 there is a risk that the eldar player uses one jet bike detachment
 to pin the infantry and then swamps the titan, but war is risky. :)
 It all comes down to the situation.
