Still to easy to turtle

Ive had some success just sending 3-4 soldiers in right at the wall around the BS as it gains me some wits. This is early game bombshell spawn I'm talking about to btw.

I can't speak for the other teams, since I play Adorables, but this how to handle things with Mobi in tow:

Dual-Mobi Guerrilla Sniper

-Spawn Mobi in time with opponent's Bombshell.
-Ensure that no more than a single unit is within splash range.
-Position a pair of Soldiers in position to kill one of Bombshell's escorts.
-Spawn a second Mobi in time with opponent's second Bombshell.
-Spawn an unbuffed Sniper.
-Position/Spawn a Runner in range of opponent's Bombshell
-Bank 10 Wits or so

This is your Bombshell strike force. When you're ready for the attack, send your Soldiers in to pop a hole in front of the Bombshell, the runner in to bite the Bombshell, and Mobi-Sniper to finish him. Then use your spare Mobi to call your attack-Mobi to safety. Your opponent will have to deal with the pair of Soldiers, and the Sniper (they're all gonna die, probably), but you should still be slightly ahead in Wits, and can start building a strike force for the other Bombshell while your opponent is busy making repairs.

If they can stockpile Bombshells... I'm sure you can stockpile something, as well.

This is the key with any team. If you dot get your special out at the same time, you give the BS time to attack. This is why turtling is harder as with the update since specials are spawned at the same time considering your not getting outplayed.

Taking out a BS with feedback can sometimes be really easy early game. Just got to scramble an adjacent soldier, hit BS, move soldier and bring one of your own soldiers to kill it. Just got to know where to put your scramble which isn't hard because Scallywag players tend to use the same BS spots. Feedback has trouble dealing with loads of bombshells though unlike the adorables.
