OK, I'm to an actual computer, so I can type without it being agonizing. Here's how the Wyoming system works:
There are 23 counties. Half are "Golden Counties" that get a national delegate. The other half select alternates. Last cycle, my county was Golden, this cycle it's Alternate. One county gets to select both a delegate and an alternate as a bonus for being the most Republican or something, and this cycle I believe that is Laramie County (home of the capital, Cheyenne. Ron Paul stopped in Cheyenne last time.).
Each county has 2 meetings. The first meeting is the "Precinct Caucuses". All the registered Republicans in the county are welcome to come and participate. For each precinct, there is, in theory, a Precinct Committeeman and Committewoman. In reality many of these slots go unfilled. Anyway, at the PC everybody meets, then breaks up into precincts and selects who's going to be delegates to the County Convention. For many precincts, in my experience the vast majority in fact, that's just everybody there who wants to be a delegate. A precinct might have, say, 6 slots (two being automatically filled by the Committeeman and Woman (if any), even if they're not in attendance at the caucuses) and there will probably be less than 6 people from that precinct who are there and wanting to be delegates. Then the County Convention is held, and various party business is done, including electing either an actual delegate who goes straight to National or an alternate national delegate. Also: making proposals to change the platform, voting on party officers, and electing delegates to go to the Wyoming State GOP Convention (again, that will probably be anyone who wants to go, and even then slots will go unfilled).
At the State Convention, the other half of Wyoming's delegates to National are chosen.
Obviously the winning strategy is simple: just get lots of bodies to the two county meetings, first the Precinct Caucuses and then the County Convention.

Further details, if you want to know which counties to run your Facebook ads in or something:
At the County Conventions, 12 delegates to the National Convention will be selected.
The Counties of Natrona, Carbon, Laramie, Lincoln, Sublette, Park, Washakie, Big Horn,
Johnson, Weston, Niobrara, and Platte will select one (1) delegate per county to the 2012
Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.
The Counties of Albany, Campbell, Converse, Crook, Goshen, Fremont, Hot Sprints, Laramie,
Sheridan, Sweetwater, Teton and Uinta will select one (1) alternate delegate per county to the
2012 Republican National Convention.
Laramie is the “super county” in 2012 and will select both a Delegate and an Alternate to the
Republican National Convention.
Wyoming’s remaining twelve (12) Delegates and thirteen (12) (sic) of Alternate Delegates will be
selected at the Wyoming Republican State Convention in Cheyenne on April 14, 2012.
The Wyoming State Party Chairman, National Committeeman and National Committeewoman
are automatically selected as delegates to the 2012 Republican National Committee. These
automatic delegates will not be bound to release their candidate selection on when the State Party
Chairman announces the straw poll results and the names of Wyoming’s twelve (12) Delegates
and eleven (11) Alternate Delegates to the National Convention.
Special consideration is given to the Wyoming National Committeewoman who also serves as
the Co-Chair of the 2012 Republican National Convention and her desire to retain her
impartiality in the selection process for the Republican Nominee for President of the United
States.
