Maybe I will, but first I'll give you some Cliff's notes on that game:

General:
- save wits
- save wits
- save wits
- You made a lot of bad trades. A runner killing a sniper is a horrible trade for whoever loses the sniper, for example. Avoid bad trades
- Snipers are good only in moderation
- Don't spawn heavies*
- Get vision. Runners are cheap and fast, and one of the most useful units in the game. Take advantage of them. A lot of your early mistakes could have been avoided if you'd been able to see your opponent's units.
- Don't attack units unless you're sure you can kill them**
- Don't attack bases unless you can win that turn or the next one**

Foundry specific:

- Protect your starting sniper (scouting your opponent really helps here)
- Spawning specials is generally a bad idea***
- attacking your opponent's backdoor wit space is usually a waste of wits
- getting your sniper in a good position will usually win you the game here

* You should only spawn heavies in very specific circumstances. For example, on turn 34 of that game was one of the few times you actually should have spawned one. It would have made it a lot more difficult for your opponent to hog your spawn space

** it's usually a waste of wits to attack a unit without killing it, especially if you know it can be healed. The exception is generally when you're being attacked and you can be relatively certain your opponent hasn't brought their medic along with them. The same applies to bases. Unless you know you can win on the same turn you attack it, or the turn right after that, it's a waste of wits and units.

*** Specials are generally hard to defend on Foundry, and are therefore seldom worth the wit investment. Your opponent made good use of their mobi, and there were a few opportunities where you could have spawned a defensive scrambler (if you'd had the wits) and turned things around, so there are a few exceptions.
