Anti-Heavy/sniper strategies

[brayton]

Ok guys, I recently encountered an opponent on Sweetie Plains that, after a short fall out of runners and soldiers which i dominated, they spammed heavies, with snipers behind them. They Scallywags, but no bombshell for the next 7 or so turns(dont know if they have one now).

My poorly structured bramble and thorns cannot accomodate such hi Hp(most hevies Buffed). Ive lost the initial adv, and their heavies are forcing me to spawn heavies, and most soldiers and either inefficient or being moved around to avoid the gradual threat. I'll post replay when finished. (BTW this might be a weak strategy since im only Gifted )

Also, why is spawning heavies generally a bad idea? Unless im sending them gross distances, isnt it alright for non-desperate defense?
