I used to think i was one of the unluckiest people around sometimes. Now, i know it's true.

I'm playing away on the old C&C red alert, and i'm way into a mission, like 2 hours, and i like to save every so often, incase something goes pretty wrong. I have to capture two tech centres and destroy an Iron Curtain, so:

I build a naval base, and two cruises. These guys decimate anything they shoot at. So, i level nearly all the base, but i'm trying to leave any tanks there either. The cruisers are pretty inaccurate too, they can miss there target by a good bit. SO, you might have guesses what they did.

I think to myself, it's a pretty good time to save. So i save the game, go back into it, 2 seconds later, "MISSION FAILED". Bloody cruiser blew up the tech centre. So i reload and have less than 2 seconds to find my cruisers and halt them before they destroy it. Tried every trick i know, but i'm just not quick enough :o(
