well i never use reinforce or armor i just dont like to use them
what i did was letting all my troops in beginning base and just use 4 launcher,mortar dynamo,antigrav do speciall mission i nearly do all of my work with 1 bot (manual control most of time) and yes i captured the north east and middle and even two of the resouces very near the blue after sometime they stop building defences and it just make the capturing easier
