You save scum because you get too attached to your soldiers, don't you?

It's okay. We all do it.

Not as much as you'd think. I keep my soldiers faceless and unattached until they are fairly leveled up. By the the time they get customized, they tend not to get meatgrindered. Usually.

Yeah, none of mine get any customisation at all until they make Sargent.

It’s like a trip across Antarctica - don’t give the dogs names!

I create them in advance so they appear in game ready-named after my friends so it really hurts when they die

I have spent so, so many hours customizing soldiers and installing mods for this game. Love to see it
