Call me a coward, but none of my soldiers, of whatever rank, ever sustained any
wounds during operations. Why, because I think the best alien is a dead (or at
least unconscious) one. Also the only shot an alien ever takes on my troops, is
a missed shot. I use up to 4 save slots per mission and restore if I dont like
what the aliens are doing. Command and conquer!
