2v2 suggestion!

[Emuchu]

I actually find it easier to spawn special units in 2v2. I have a dedicated partner, and our strategy is two-fold: He builds a defense around our bases and turtles as hard as he can by himself, usually taking potshots to one of the bases here and there as our opponents attempt to capitalize on our perceived defensive incompetence.

Meanwhile, I'll take the Wit-Space on my first turn, spawn Mobi on my next, and quietly sneak a Sniper/Soldier combo to take one of the bases in one turn. Because of the unconventional way we play, our 2v2s are thankfully pretty short.

I can only pull these kind of shenanigans off because my partner is there to take up the slack. You can come up with some silly stuff when you're coordinated, and having a partner to take the pressure off defending lets you spawn Specials as long as the two of you have a plan.
