First off, Flaming Stream is used on the C column to hit and push gifted recruits and Diehards. This will destroy Gifted Recruits and leave Diehards alive and bordering the opponent base.

Then Armed Schemers is played on D1, pulling Warfront Runners on the left and destroying both Lost Psyches and Warfront Runners.

Then Windmakers are played on A1 to attack Lasting Remains, which won’t be killed but will be pushed to the opponent base. Windmakers will also move the frontline up to the third row, making possible to play Headless Hotheads in B3 which will be attacking and destroying Pillars of Doom.
