Just wondering if these need to be applied in a specific order?
Thanks

First normal hits are applied and saved against.
Then macro hits are applied and saved against.

Macro hits start at the closest unit again, they don't pick up where normal hits left off.

Sorry - typing problem. I meant between Macro and Titan Killer (don't know where the rest of my title went to)

Most, if not all, TKs are MWs. The rules don't provide any distinction that I'm aware of. We usually allocated MW first and TK second though (but pick up where the MWs left off).

I couldn't find anything. It came up against void shields and we played it that way too.

2.2.10 Titan Killer weapons states that "In all other ways, Titan killers are treated as macro-weapons."
So as Dave says you get two rounds of hit allocation, AT hits are allocated and resolved first, then MW + TK hits are allocated and resolved next.

I thought that Neal had made a ruling that TK weapon hits were allocated separately after MW hits so that they are able to do the greatest amount of damage to the titan after the other weapons have reduced any shields.

It would be logical, but if for example you were firing at a Super Heavy company you may want to shift that around depending on what damage they have taken. As it doesn't appear to be covered it would make sense that the firer can apply in the order they wish (the generosity approach).
