Nice stories guys.

I can only say that I have started the game over several times for the same reasons. Losing a high ranking sniper, supporter or otherwise.

Apart from that, I am wondering about the development through the game. Would it actually help to train more soldiers instead of the same few? I mean  just bring new ones into the very first battles and thereby prevent your soldiers from getting higher ranks and thereby into harder fights?

This is something I still miss to test out and if some of you already got the answer, I wouldn't have to find out on my own...

Thanks in advance. :)
