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 probably the best advice you can give. I recently played a game where I exposed a scrambler, and almost instinctively went to send in mobi and a sniper to finish him. After a longer look, I realized I would be swapping a sniper, soldier, and mobi, just for the one scrambler. Easy decision to mobi the soldier to safety and wait for a better opportunity. Had that scrambler been a bombshell, I might have made the swap. So much implied damage from a shell that the math doesn't need to add up for that swap, IMO.
