Fighting the Bombshell matchup

[schelnig]

I registered for this forum for the express purpose of finding out how to defeat bombshells. I am very new to this game, and think it is one of the best games ever. But BS are a huge pain.

Nobody really has a fool proof method to stop the BS - especially if they root themselves behind a barrier. The only thing I know for sure is that you can identify - relatively quickly - if you are playing against scallywags. Given that, the best way, it seems, to defeat Scallywags would be to keep your opponent from saving the wits needed to spawn a bombshell. If you can keep your opponent on the defensive, and force him/her to spend the majority of their wits, you can keep them from spawning a BS. It seems as if that would be the best. It sure as heck beats letting your opponent get entrenched, and then trying to dig them out.

Thoughts?
