This was my key consideration in running the campaign: it's very asymmetrical warfare. The robots generally out-number, out-gun and out-armour the surviving humans.
So for humans to survive they need to generate local advantage. Pick robot outposts with minimal defences, make a lightning raid, and scatter before the reinforcements arrive. Instead of trying to armour up to survive robot weapons (which won't work), stay agile and be somewhere else when they hit.
Those two campaigns were a significant influence on
Will to Live (taking the form of playtesting even before the book was formally commissioned).
