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. P. Conrad Remove all Xs to reply
