It would seem that the two aspects would cancel each other out, wouldn't they? I mean to say, if you place the objectives far enough apart, won't your concern be answered?
....
Am I missing something here?
AMTL player places his 2 objectives 30cm apart on the centreline, with some terrain between.
Once in-game, the AMTL player walks a Titan into the terrain, just over the centreline.
This leaves the AMTL player denying DTF & T&H to the enemy.
The Titan player should also have a BTS Titan on his own Blitz goal (Normally a BTS Reaver with a BP weapon, CLP, and a CCW) that also denies BTS and Blitz to the enemy.
It doesn't matter where the non-AMTL player placed his objectives, because the AMTL player doesn't need to care about defending objectives (Because just as long as his forward Titan and his Blitz protector Titan remain unbroken, it's impossible for the opponent to get more than 1 Victory Condition), and isn't looking to claim any objectives other than the two he's placed (And that just to prevent the opponent claiming DTF & HTL).
The AMTL player then uses the rest of his army to take the enemy apart formation by formation, ignoring the objectives and playing for a winning draw by protecting his forward Titan with more Reaver Titans.
Getting more than one battle Titan to stand on the middle of the board in cover & contesting range of an objective is a bonus that makes a draw result highly likely.
Once you come to the draw, because Titan armies that concentrate on battle titans don't tend to lose many Titans in game, the AMTL player has likely given away fewer points than his opponent, and wins on a draw. AMTL player goes up the tournament ladder, and his opponent goes down.
It's a boring way to play, but very effective.
