I'm not so sure about this one. I feel like this is the kind of thing a new player might do anyway (moving the medic all over the place to heal units) when actually it's often better to just let your 1 hp soldier die and make a new one instead of wasting wits running it back to your base or running your medic out to the soldier.

I can agree with you to some extent. New players (as far as I observed others and myself) tend to send units in the direction of their opponent's base without even considering moving them backwards in any situation. In short: new players tend to send their units on suicide missions. The tip in question is supposed to make them think about the option of a strategic retreat.

To the grouping of tips - if you read through the list you can actually see that they are grouped by topic and ordered by increasing level of difficulty. I could make these groups more prominent but some of them only contain 3-4 tips.
