I'm interested of hearing opinions on my play, what should I have done differently?

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see how sir plays. My thoughts:

turn 2-why not spawn the runner first? If you're going get a runner anyway, might as well do it first and see what's going on. You would spot his runner, and then you know your heavy is not in immediate danger from 2 soldiers so you don't need to boost it.

turn 12-as soon as you notice nothing is going on on the right side, get suspicious about the left, maybe move the soldier back a step in case a sniper (in your case, scrambler) is hiding back there.

I'm not sure what else I would do differently. Did you try counting his wits? That might be another hint that he might have a scrambler, since he did not use that many and I think you had vision on most of his moves. Especially turn 8 when you see he just made a runner, which your soldier saw. Honestly it's hard to predict, I probably wouldn't have thought of it either.

Another thing I've tried is moving the predeployed soldier onto the ledge (3 spaces from the enemy wit space) to have vision over that side. This allows your runner to cover the other side, hopefully
