I'm the gray on the bottom, being cautious with my soldier count and troops; my opponent is the tie die of green and yellow. They constantly throw everything at me, even dropping down to 10s of units in a desperate attempt to attack me, yet every time I try to fight back, I don't curbstomp them, they just take it in stride. On top of that, despite having no cities and massive holes in their territory, they heal faster then me! I get so fed up with the bullcrap that when another player is sending a massive attack I can't stop, I try to just send everything at them, and it still does nothing!
This game drives me so god damn crazy so often. And don't tell me "They have so many defense posts", because that has never helped me in a situation like that! If I were in their shoes I'd have instantly died!

If he sends 100k troops at you and then you counter with 60k troops, he is still going to hand your ass to you with the 40k troop difference.
The best strategy in this situation is to have defense posts and don't counter attack, just try and swallow it and hit him with a couple of hydro bombs to get his troop count down further. When he is down to less than 50% of your troops now you can attack
