My favourite tactic is to assault the opponents wit space and take it, then leave a scrambler just in range of it. My opponents usually avoid taking it back as the scrambler can immediately brainwash their unit. I will post a replay as an example, I have a game in progress right now.

So I take it you're maneuvering around the Bombshell, rather than tackling the thing directly?

Spot on, though the term "quick and the dead" applies 100%. You need to be controlling the space with a scrambler before the bombshell comes into the equation. In other words, be aggressive! A bombshell cannot attack the same turn it moves, so if you control the space then the opponent cannot advance into it without giving up the bombshell.
