        When did this happen? Saves are useless if
you're broken & caught by the enemy.

        In which case the eldar titan wouldn't get its
save against attacks that didn't remove it from the
board... =)

        The 'Save' power nullifies hits. CC weapons
do not need to hit in order to work, the bearer simply
needs to win the close combat. Thus, Eldar titans
are just as vulnerable to being charged by titans with
a CC weapon as any other titan. Considering that the
CC titan is giving up a death ray or HWB for the CC
weapon, I don't see why this is a big deal.

        The moral of the story is: don't let titans
armed with CC weapons charge your phantoms and
revenants.
