That happens to us too. There's a top group, then 2 groups equal in strength(I am in one of those), and a group who is always the fourth in rank. But because we are not giving up, we're winning against the top group now, two streaks guys :D
Just don't give up, you may lose now, but tomorrow is another story. The only thing that you can do is get stronger while there's no war. Then give your best shot at strategy when the moment of truth comes. :D
