Actually I've found that a well timed and well planned assault can work.
The keys to winning one of those assaults is to put lots of blast markers
on the detachment (Thunderhawks in groups are good for this) and make sure
you don't have tons of blast markers yourself (Destroy those biovore detats
before they can really be a thorn in your side). You're better off (if you
know you're going to be assaulted this turn) to assault them. That way you
can dictate who actually gets in CC so you can avoid some of the
genestealers, carnifexes, and.
But for the most part you should avoid bugs in CC. Firepower is your best
bet, but don't rely on it totally because a smart bug commander (such as
Thane) is going to avoid all those tricks and STILL get into CC with your
troops.
