The way for a guild with a bit less GP and squads to work with is to intentionally not try to star every territory open to you. If you do you will end up with a lot of 1 star results.
You will have to do some figuring based on your gp to decide how to approach it but pick one squad territory to hopefully get to 2 or 3 stars. Any excess points can go to push the other territory close to but not over the star level. Then in the next phase push that one to 2 or 3 stars while prepping the next squad territory for the following phase.
