For your own sake, you should try playing with a little backbone.  I imposed
a "no in-mission save" rule on myself and many time found situations where I
would accept some losses and play on.  It adds to the drama of game
considerably.  As long as you save before the mission starts, you never have
to worry about the bad guy's locations being revealed because the missions
get randomized on start up.  Sure I had missions where I scrapped everything
and re-loaded, but you have those times where you figure that sacrificing a
few green recruits for the cause is worth it.  That's when you start to
really feel like you are in a combat situation.
