You can look at some replays in the Super-Titan replay thread to get some ideas though. I didn't look too long but here's one on Glitch http://osn.codepenguin.com/replays/view/...20YrcVlDA#

Turn 27 is where the Adorables player breaks the bombshell.

Calmon always amazes me how he is able to practically throw away his Mobis and still come out on top. I don't really get the math of how that works.

He does have some BRILLIANT baiting strategies though. For an example, turn 39 is the setup, turn 41 the reaping.

I'm not seeing the baiting strategy. It looked to me like he was just out to kill the sniper. There were no other units left to kill.

Edit: I see what you mean. Knowing his sniper is dead, he moves it one space to the left, preserving his wit space, and drawing the soldier to within sniper range at spawn. I guess I just saw that as more of a necessity than a bait tactic. I think of baiting requiring a sacrifice and his sniper was dead no matter what. Very smart move none the less.
