The enemy barely noticed as long as we didn't shoot. oops, stepped in the wrong spot and triggered a story advace, and now we're surrounded. Ok, the enemy is following a scripted path to somewhere on the other side of the map and running straight past my men. We're shooting well and mowing them down! wait, why is no one shooting? oh, they only came with a handfull of bullets for their automatic weapons? well crap, ok, no problem, we'll scavenge from the dead. Here goes 30 to 40 minutes of micromanaging ammo, grenades, and bandages to each guy... Oh look, I was given re-inforcements. Ok another 30 minutes to get them all squared away with ammo. Got some tanks to blow up, neat. Another 30 minutes to re-organize everyone with decent weapons to move forward. Time to circle around these emplaced machine gunners aaaaand, crap, stepped in the wrong spot and fast forwarded the mission's scripting again. Ok, well, we won at least and my guys are ready for the next stage. Here we go, same map but it opened up a little, nice way of doing it. Lets get the squad with the machine guns and flame throwers up to... wait a sec. Where the hell are the machine guns and flame throwers I maticulously collected from the fallen before the map shifted? And no one has\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665for ammo? WTF?!?!?! Aaaaaand I'm out. If you're going to make me organize it all manually after saving my guys from a quick out-matched demise, don't f'ing take it all away to shift the map a few yards north. That's lazy coding and nothing more.I love micromanaging my stuff to achieve a good outcome. I don't love finding out I wasted my time after being forced to do it in the first place.
