I didn't go too in detail with the replay, but charging at a defended Bombshell with 2 soldiers is never going to accomplish anything besides killing your soldiers. Your opponent obviously focused too much on one side of the battle, so you going around was brilliant.

I was hoping that the Bombshell was overextended and that I could (albeit slowly) pick it off. The more that that became apparently impossible, I decided to go for his Wit. When that became a lost cause and I saw his spawn wasn't defended, I focused there.

My point is that Feedback and Adorables have a way, one way or another, to combat and deal with Bombshells in a fairly cost effective manner. Veggienauts don't seem to have that, especially on smaller maps where the Bombshell's range is obnoxious. The only real option I can see is using Thorns to block line of sight to avoid your units taking 3 damage directly and that's a lot, especially since a smart player could probably dismantle your entire operation with a few crucial blows, and next thing you know your 10 Wit Thorn investment is killed with 3 Soldiers that are hitting the right targets.

Boom boom, dead.
