And I'm one of them (though I'm not ticked off like the others...)

Yup.

Umm.  I don't know about that, restarting shouldn't be a problem.  Plus
why the heck would anyone spend time/effort hacking a save game trying to
get a nuke?

Here's mine.

Good for you.

Too bad.

Doesn't apply.

Yes I did.

I don't think it's the restart, and I know that it isn't a hacked savegame
(main reason is that's its not worth it).  However, my theory is simply
that you can complete a mission without either getting the crate, or that
the unit that got the crate (I'm refering to any of the three) may have
been blown up.  

This seems to be a little simpler explaination and I for one don't really
care that I couldn't use the nuke.  I was very pleased that the mission
was about 8x as hard as the original level 13.  

For all those whinners, does it matter if the NUKE is dropped?  Are you so
eager to participate in mass destruction <grin>.  Ack.  Don't need a nuke
for that!
