1. The first team to the battle field is generally the best ready, and has the initiative.
2. When waiting for the enemy to invade your territory always guard the critical areas, roads, paths, bridges, stream fords, etc.
3. Move to places the enemy does not expect you, make them have to travel hard and swiftly to get to you.
4. Make your enemy see your strengths as weaknesses, your weaknesses as strengths.  In other words, where you have your elite troops make them appear week by showing off  their backup weapons, hidingtheir main weapons, and acting undisciplined; the opposite for your weaknesses.
5. When an enemy splits their force attack a fraction of it, therefore being able to use numerical advantages against them.
6. Never let your enemy know where you will attack, thus they will have to defend many places, and where you attack there will be few to defend.
7. If the enemy has prepared a defense in one area, the opposite area will be weak; say the left side of theirdefense is well enforced, then logically the right would be vulnerable to your attack.
8. Maneuver with an indirect route and divert the enemy by enticing him with bait; you could use the mouse trap trick for this.
9. The use of good weapons such as the CPS 2000, CPS 1200, etc. is not as important as a good supply line (refill base); thus an army armed with an assortment of weapons ranging from a XP 105 to a CPS 1000 with a good refill base and access to it can defeat a force with weapons like XP 310-CPS 3200 without access to supplies.
10. A commander must know the terrain in order to win.  Without a good idea of what you are getting into you may end up fighting the enemy entire army in a place unsuitable for your forces to escape or penetrate the enemy lines and plunder their base.
11. The refill base is a critical to the survival of an army, if you are not just having a squirt fest, but seriously battling it is important to destroy or capture the enemies' base.  If it is a faucet then unscrew the handle rendering it useless.
12. To defeat a larger force you must show your weaknesses as strengths (4.) and show your army to the enemy in as many places as possible in order to make them think that you have a larger force than they. In Vermin War II we split our small force and attacked the enemy in many different places, thus making our tiny army look huge to them without giving them a combined number to show our small force.
13. Never make a fort or base in a low lying area, the enemy can shoot into your fort, or many other problems.
14. In open ground always unite or keep in touch with the rest of your army, the enemy may be able to detect you, and defeat your forces one at a time.
15. Never linger very long in an enemies' territory without knowing their location, this is perfect for an ambush, or they could cut off your supply lines, and or take your fort.
16. Never shoot into the wind, make a hostile trooper attack you with the wind at your back; in this way your shot will be more accurate and powerful, theirs may be deflected aside or not a substantial hit.
17. If you are very good at target shooting, have a more powerful gun than your opponent, and are not quick at maneuvering or dodging then shoot the enemies blast down with your own gun, this can be very affective, and may have a demoralizing affect on your opponent.
18. Fight downhill, never ascend to attack unless otherwise impossible to do otherwise.  In this way your shots will have the added effect of gravity upon them.
19. When you battle your enemy never fight with your back to a stream or river, take position in a way that you have good resources, an escape rout, and in a place where the enemy has to attack you in such a way that they cannot escape or retreat fast enough for you to catch them.
20. When setting up an ambush always have an escape rout so that the enemy does not counter, and trap you.
21. Always keep a distance from edges of a building when battling in an urban setting, in this way you will not run around a corner after a fleeing oponent, and find the whole enemy army waiting for you.
22. When in hostile teritory always make sure your troops have their guns on the smallest nozzle setting that still provides power, thus you will have a decent amount of time to get to the enemies' base without having to return to your own to refill.
23. When confronted with the ability to take the enemy fort but with major casualties, but courage on your part as a leader, attack.  You are in hostile teritory, and taking the enemies' fort is more important than staying dry in this situation; you will have cut the enemy off from their supplies and exhaust them.  This is one of the only times that you should attack when you know that you will suffer much on the part of staying dry yet you know that you can take their position.ness to your team.
24. In battle use the ordinary squad to deter the enemy, then sweep their flank by attacking the rear with your elite squad.
25.  Do not think that to victory in a water war is to engage the enemy as many times as possible and try to push them back.  The key to success is in misleading the enemy, and thus overpowering them when they least expect it, resulting in a major victory with minimal dampness on your side.
