        What's the 30cm in reference to? While CC reavers and
warlord titans would be moving 30cm a turn, CC phantom/warlocks
could go up to 40cm IIRC, and Subjugators could go as far as 50cm.

        Good point.

        I kinda doubt that. Titans are still (if not more so)
vulnerable to massed firepower, and running headlong into the
enemy to get within range of his WEs, AT shots and who knows
what else sounds like a good way to get blown to smithereens.

        OTOH, the CC titan would probably make a good fire magnet
for the same reason - you could make it look like you're going
for his WEs in CC, and carry out other plans with the rest of
your army while your opponent is destroying your CC titan.
