The Rubble-Field — a waste of shattered ferrocrete and broken hab-stacks, ground too broken for a titan to stride cleanly across.
A war-engine moving through the Rubble-Field must pivot to change its facing before it can move, and cannot re-declare its Ion Shield arc for free that round; it treats the field as difficult ground for the purpose of its stride. Infantry-scale fighters, by contrast, pick their way through it freely. It is the broken ground that lets a swarm slip around the very arc the titan cannot turn to meet — the surround made of terrain.
