1. As before, spend (-3) wits to spawn a sniper. Spend (-1) to kill a soldier that was within range, so I get (+1) back. [down to 3 wits]
2. Spend (-1) to spawn a runner, (-1) to move him next to a nearby enemy runner, and (-1) to kill that runner, and I get (+1) back. [down to 1 wit]
3. Spend (-1) to move one of my soldiers back (maybe to get out of range of a sniper or something).
   

First off, I like how you used lots of tags in you your post (such as the \[list\] \[\/list\] tag). Cool stuff.
Secondly, your step 2 are flawed where you spawn a runner. Unless you are in a 2 spawn map and have lost your extra wit point, at which point the problem is not the +1 wit it was losing you extra wit point.
You should also consider how much less you would have been able to do without the +1 on kill. All you would have been able to do was kill that solider with your sniper, and attack an adjacent unit or move a unit.
The fact that their is an order to making your turn to maximize your wits is a great thing! This should cause all players to think about their turns before actually making them. I just had a game where I immediately made a runner after clearing a spawn. This runner lost me the game, if I had made a heavy/soldier instead I would have been able to last another turn and possibly fight off the attack in a few turns.
