Once assault movement has been resolved, Titans which are in contact with each other fight in close combat. The two combatants attempt to smash and crush each other or use specialised close combat weapons to tear, batter and cut at the armour of the enemy. Make no mistake, close combat between Titans is a brutal affair!

As mentioned in the characteristics section, close combat weapons with a higher swiftness strike before more clumsy weapons. Resolve the attacks of each weapon in turn, starting with the highest value and working down. If two or more weapons have the same Swiftness their attacks are resolved simultaneously.

For each Attack a close combat weapon has, the player can make one to hit roll. As with ranged weapons, a Titan may only use a close combat weapon is the target is within its fire arc. Like shooting, simply roll one dice for each attack, any that score equal to or over the Close Combat Skill of the Titan score a hit. The accuracy of the weapon modifies the dice roll, as with shooting, making it more or less likely to hit it's target.

Damage is also resolved as with shooting hits, with D6+ the weapon's Strength reduced by the Titan's Armour value. Close combat attacks are not made high or low – there is no modifier to the D6 roll for location. Note that void shields have no effect in close combat, all damage is worked out directly against the Titan itself.

Once the fastest weapon's attacks have been resolved, move on to the weapon with the next highest Swiftness and so on.

All Titans have a number of secondary weapons which blast away at short range, and many simply try to use their size to bash the enemy to the ground. An Emperor Titan has D3+2 improvised attacks; a Battle Titan has D3 improvised attacks and a Scout Titan has 1 improvised attack. Titans which charged that turn (ie they moved into base contact with any enemy, as opposed to the enemy moving into base contact with them) gain +1 improvised attack to represent the impetus of their assault. Improvised attacks are Swiftness 1, have no Accuracy modifier and have a Strength of 4.
