* Save the replay of every game you loose and review them.

* Value units based on how many wits are needed to recreate them in their current position. So a buffed runners that has moved out 4 steps from the spawn point is worth 3 wits.

* Never create a heavy.

* Attack as far away from opponents spawn point as possible.

* Put you soldiers in front and one runner behind them for vision.

* Never attack a unit unless you can kill it the same round.

* Put your medic next to your spawn point.

* Always boost snipers and specials.

* Never have more than three runners on the map.

* If you have 8 or more units on the map and are not currently in battle, save 3 wits to the next round.

That last one is crucial. I've been in a number of matches where my opponents army is larger but I save up to 16-18 wits and deal a huge blow in one turn, with a slightly smaller army. Because they haven't been able to save wits, they can only make 3-4 attacks in response.
