I'm going to take another swing at it tomorrow. I only had it on Intermediate, but give me a break. My Strategomuscles were rusty.

Oh man I kicked that robot's butt this time.

I neutralized his best unit for half the game and then, to end the game, I boxed it in so that it had to move next to my Spy. That meant that I could assassinate it properly without any further loss of life on my side. Oh yes!

How the hell do you box in the general? Its almost impossible to box

He was kind of boned with all his defusers killed.

His marshal was in right alley trying to support miners getting through to my flag, but held off by my spy. I had daringly rampaged through a bunch of his captains/majors with a colonel so he was short on midrange pieces, so his miners had no support aside from the marshal. My marshal was neutralized by him but eventually was able to move out to, center lane and wrapped around so that he was stuck behind a bomb.

Also, when it's the last piece you can just move another random piece and he HAS to move his only piece.
