* 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.

IGNORE * Never have more than three runners on the map. IGNORE

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

I've grown a bit wiser since I wrote this post and think the rule about maximum 3 runners can safely be ignored =)

If there is a position where you want a runner on a tile at most 5 tiles from your spawn point it is usually better to create a new instead of moving an existing one, no matter how many runners you already have.

To see why, just count the cost/benefit in wits for each alternative and compare!
