The only way to stay ahead of someone who is always ahead is to make bad decisions. Make a list of all of the stupid things you could do, then think about why it's a stupid idea and how the enemy would exploit your blunder. Then take what they'll do to exploit it and set your forces up to directly counter that action (Out of sight, obviously). When the enemy takes the bait, you pounce on them and rip them to shreds. It's a costly strategy, and a risky one as well. If you don't know your enemy well enough, then they'll do something you didn't expect and you'll lose right there.

On a side note, is this RP still accepting or does it restart after you lose or something? It sounds really interesting.
