Scallywags Strategy

[[PETA] Cor13:4]

Your games inspire me. I've only played some maps a few times (like Long Nine) and I have no idea what to do against adorables. But watching your replays, tends to reinforce in general what my plan is Vs. Adorables on maps like those which I find favor adorables.

I don't always spawn bombshells, especially against Adorables. Saving up the wits and doing a decisive strike when they bring out the mobi is often the winning move, or having enough wits to counter-attack can push for the win.

I'm not of course nearly as good as Terence, but here's one replay where a bombshell was kinda used offensively and I actually didn't flub anything. It shows a decent use of FoV to know where to place units.

Turn 7: The runner shows that in anticipation of his attack, I can safely move up my other units and he probably won't see them.

Turn 15: I know he's wanting to reclaim his wit, and I know he can't see the bombshell if I bring it out at that spot. The bombshell will be offensive and allow my units to claim that part of that map.

My games with Ameraconp are fun and nailbiters for me. I thought Ameraconp had me here. When he unexpectedly took my bottom wit space, I thought I was a goner in the long run. Specials aren't used too often ni Foundry, so I decided to go for it and spawn one.
Turn 36: I was afraid he'd have that Scrambler there, so I took the wits to hide and then move my bombshell. Turned out to be a good investment in wits.

Turn 52: I moved the wrong soldier...the one that had already attacked, blocking the base and anything useful from being attacked by the soldier who hadn't attacked yet. I had meant to hit the base to 1, but instead I thought I might have lost the push because of this. Ended up being OK.

This one shows how a mobi can be a liability sometimes. Since it's a non-combat unit and can sap your wits.
Turn 7: Having full FoV visibility of his units, I know that he has enough wits to spawn a mobi on his last turn and probably did. Even if he didn't, moving up the buffed heavy is safe, as it would take 3 units to take him out (his heavy is out of range). If he did spawn a mobi, I know next turn, I have enough wits to make a decisive strike.

Kinda shows how you can creep up bombshells and how to place them to attack and defend.
Turn 8: Based on the placement of his units, I knew I could put a bombshell there and be safe. My heavy was a good shield and I was pretty sure at most he would take out 2 units if he attacked. The bombshell could both hit his front line and hit the top if he attacked along the top.
Turn 16: I knew I could move up the bombshell and he couldn't kill it.
