Killing special units strategy?

If you can't take it out efficiently, wit-wise, wait until you can. Lately I've been sacrificing too much to take specials out ASAP and leaving myself even weaker than if I'd just tried to slowly push back.

That's true with me, I usually wait until I have some wits and some other units to protect it. But that takes several turns and some games my opponent started attacking while I've just spawned a bombshell and it should take another turn to move it to a favorable position. If I move there then next turn it's supposed to be killed. That's the problem, especially on Sharkfood Island where I have to move the bombshell twice to get to the middle (a bit under the base). For example, this one. If he started the attack one turn later, i'd get the bombshell ready...
