You moved a lot of units around for seemingly no purpose in the beginning, wasting wits. Then you saw him turtling up, could have guessed when and where his bombshell was setup, and still moved units into it and that's when the wit gap became too large for you to have a chance.

When you're P2 against scallywags on a small map, always assume they've got their BS setup asap and avoid moving into it's range until you've got a plan to kill it. You'll be able to tell where it is by their solider placement.
Thanks for the advice! I have about 5 games as P2 on glitch so it definitely helps to not move my troops as much


Is it best to just kill the bombshell or try to go around it? (as I attempted when I lost hope)

Thanks! Know how to see what it is?

Do you know any way to look at the win/loss ratio?..

For yourself, you have to manually count them (keep track). For others, currently I do not.

Ok, so I am taking that as different methods to attack, but which units, especially since I can only spawn one.

You could won the game by moving your Mobi near the red base, spawn sniper
teleport it and shoot the base(I think it was turn 31 our something like that).

Here are two extremely helpful rules for newbies.

1) When in doubt, create a Soldier.
2) Never create a Heavy.

The second one was considered "not good enough" to include in the newbie FAQ, because of some bizarre reasoning like "oh maybe one in every 1000000 games it would be the right move." Don't ask me why, I'm not the FAQ author lol. But anyway, seriously, never create a Heavy.

Oh snap. I could have. Thanks for pointing that out. I am still not used to using Mobi. I just bought the pack recently after a few months of playing the normal ones (which I can't think of the name right now). But, I will definitely keep that as an option, thanks!

1) I did a lot of that, and I had some extra so I made Mobis and snipers to use for a power attack.
2) I never created a heavy...they made a bunch though.

So I guess I kind of feel like I knew that already.

And to your other point, on another game, I had a 3hp soldier next to my spawn with several friends, with my forces and wits, I wouldn't be able to take them all and I needed defense power to keep them from getting a hit on my base, so in that instance I spawned a heavy took out one and used it as a blockade. In that instance, a sniper just wouldn't have worked.
