I've been trying to sacrifice flanks and keep them grouped together (safety in numbers) but it just isn't happening.
I was playing against the Eldar. 7 objectives to the Eldar in turn 1. Game almost over (40 for win).
Other highlights:
Eldar have more units to deploy so the Warlock Titan is last on to the board, knocks a few power fields off, no big trouble. Next turn, Eldar wins initiative. Warlock Titan charges Gargant. Gargant snap fires (-1 overall because of witch sight). Out of that huge armament, absolutely nothing hits - much misses, only 1 shot breaches the fields and that scatters to miss. Warlock Titan runs past Gargant, spins around, strips shields and inflicts maximum damage on the boiler. A Revenant and entire host of Grav Tanks have yet to open fire on the Gargant, but it isn't looking good...
12 Bad Moons boys are next to the Gargant - again, one shot gets through the fields, scatters to miss.
8 Goff Nobs have their sights on the Revenant: 7 hit, 1 gets through, armour holds up!
Maybe it's not so much the Orks as horrible luck.
I remember once back in the days,
I hit a recerant Titan with a plasma destructor,
shields were down so I had to scatter 4 times cause I hit 4 times
I aimed the head and brought all 4 hits home....just 4s and below it still stood
on the other hand I have my most famous Eldar Titan shot down every battle I used him, before he can shoot
