        It's not even like a titan can really crouch
down & hide, either - Whoa! We're being fired at!
Better sit still, maybe they'll get bored and go away!

        How many other rules have russian hordes fighting

        Unless, of course, your army was one of the ones
that didn't get them... as a chaos player, there's no way
I'm going to field a Warlord at 900 points when my opponent
is fielding 3 for 1500 points... it just isn't worth it
(besides, I'd play people who were expecting titans, and
they'd end up wasting all those nifty titan-killing shots
on infantry).
