So I'm not a big fan of playing turtling games, so I tried to stay aggressive to prevent turtling, but it didn't work out very well as he was able to get a few bombshells down. Also, I know I need to do a better job planning for bomb shell splash damage as that screwed me up a few times.

Any advice would be helpful, though it seemed he would be able to get out a bombshell easily since he went first.

Turn 6 you jump into his bombshell and give away a ton of wits and positioning.
Turn 8 you jump into the bombshell again, making a terrible trade of wits again.

These two turns I think did it for you, the following turns seemed reasonable given the situation for awhile. I didn't watch much more.

What you could have done once you saw the bombshell was spam boosted runners and attacked his wit space once you had 4 or 5 or so. Since he made the bombshell then moved his soldier over to take out your runner, you could presume he was very light on that side and that you'd be ahead in an arms race positioned away from the bombshell.

Edit - you could have made boosted soldiers, not runners, to threaten the shell-free side, lol, sorry about that
