Using specials?

I always, always have a medic buff my Bomber immediately or it's just too vulnerable to runners. When moving into position, avoid snipers and soldiers because even shelled and buffed, they can close-in on you for 3 dmg and a runner can pick you off. On the other hand, you can sneak around with the bomber and a soldier or runner backing you up, and take out a heavy. Hopefully close to their base and spread some collateral damage. It needs lots of support units and therefore lots of wits to play it offensively, thus takes a long play to set up effectively against experienced opponents. If you're just gonna plonk it in front of base for defense, just keep a medic nearby to buff and soldiers for support or some runners for interference. Personally I like runners because you can keep a lookout further a field and ideally take out anything before they get close enough that you'd need additional protection. Remember: Never move towards a sniper, always shell up and let them come to you so you can bomb them first once they're in range!
