Last Wednesday I got my second game of Titanicus in against Michael and his loyalist titans. Terrain was scattered, huge robots deployed, and much chaotic hilarity ensued! Michael had four warhounds, two with grappelling irons and a knight. My forces remained Riff-Raff, my reaver, Magenta and Colombia, my two warhounds, and Brad and Janet, my two knights. Deployment was staggered with Riff to the fore, my knights and Colombia in the centre and Magenta tip-tapping off to the left.

My knights, Brad and Janet, matched him, Colombia (my central warhound), Magenta and Riff-Raff (my other warhound and my Reaver) deployed on the right. Riff had an early view on the opposing reaver, but his early shots bounced off...
