A personal recomendation is to put eights on the right and left of the top bomb

You should always keep a spy by your nine and if a 9 meets a 10 sacrifice your 9 and have the spy behind him do not let your spy die it cant kill anything exept a 10 but it has to strike keep the spy behind water
Keep 3's till the end of the game put them in the back row but keep some in the the 3rd row incase there is some bombs up front
Spread your nine and 10 out
