As said before gameplay=/=stats or otherwise the power balance in games would be oh so very different.

How was a titan in a non-apocalypse battle?

It suffered a normal explosion,not an Apocalyptic Explosion,luckily,because my entire nid army was about 4-10 inches away,and they would have suffered a Destroyer hit.Baically they all suffer an auto ID wound,no armour or cover.Only the Doom of Malan'tai had a chance to survive.

Again, whatever happened to your Warhound that probably wasn't supposed to be in the game, game rules =/= fluff, meaning its not relevant.

What you mean it wasn't suppossed to be in the game?
BTW,that stuff about Reavers being 2X as durable as warhounds,is fluff,and game rules.So,being fluff,it is relevant.

Honestly I think the Tau would mainly just avoid Titans. In one of the Codexes it mentions the Tau dont fight to occup land. And Titans are slow. They'd probably just lure the titans out and then attack the supply base.

Not 100% certain on this but I recollect that Titans are only to be used in Apocalypse games. Yours wasn't, apparently.
Its still not relevant though. The game, how is plays, its mechanics, the stats, do not equal what happens in the fluff. Reavers are more than just twice as durable, they have many other advantages, hence why this game was not in any way evidence to suggest what happens in the fluff.

It's not like fluff and game is separated by a wall of razor sharp tigers. Fluff informs the game and the game also informs the fluff.
If we can see a fluffy comparison of the specs, that would be nice though.

Good job cutting out the part where I said I wasn't 100% certain. The fact that their rules are in the Apocalypse book makes me suspect this.

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.
