I do. I just lost my IMP, which is my alter-ego. After almost bursting to tears (he is a HtH expert, decent MRK, quite a good merc), I decided to make another one. Well, I played for one game day, got bored to this robot (high agi+mrk+dex etc.), and decided to make a total random character using calculator's random button. Well, he became a refugee of war, ex-med student, son of a rich man in Africa, now a psychopatic guy who studies explocives when he has time from his job as a car mechanic. He can't shoot, 'cause he did not have to attend mandatory Finnish army. Instead he learned skills from the streets: knifing. He used to play basketball (high dex+throwing), but likes beer nowadays more (low agi). Love it! The new merc sucks, but the game is hundred times more interesting than with the normal killer robots I used to create when I was still new to the game.

Its been about 2 years but I've started a new game of JA 1.13. This time I decided that I would not load a game unless all of my mercs got killed. I feel like this has really added to the intensity of the game because everytime a merc gets shot suddenly you have to respond to a new situation while still dealing with the enemy.
I was playing the Drassen counter attack on expert with 7 mercs. Sniper and LMG on the bathroom roof, my riflemen spread out in the houses covering sectors, my medic (Ira) hanging in the bathrooms. One of my rifleman (Scully) in an east side building gets shot and goes down, not dead but heavily wounded, bad guys swarming outside. Ira and one of my riflemen (Shadow) begin making their way to him. They get into the house Ira gets to work. Just then the back door gets thrown open revealing 7+ baddies. Ira makes a run back outside while Shadow covers her. Shadow gets interrupted as he is running and gets 1-shotted in the head and falls down dead next to Scully. Scully bled out over the next few turns while my IMP and Ira tried to blast their way back inside to get to him.
The game definitely feels so much more intense and gritty when you're blasting your way through enemy lines to get to a downed trooper while you're honestly worried if your teammate will make it before he bleeds to death.

I accept Casualties,because i try to feel a war for freedom,there is no war if someone from good guys won't die.I was about to cry when my squad of Ivan,Igor,Iggy,Conrad,IMP and Barry were trapped in sector,i entered a sector(tried to make a breach to Meduna) started killing everyone,enemy backup came,they have surrounded me,had to retreat.Iggy and Igor were shooting from Mortar Gas Shells,so that my squad could leave.Iggy and Igor were killed.Sadly,Ivan had no Gas mask so i didn't knew what to do,if i run to gas,Ivan will lose his energy.Well,he had to run inside it,lost all energy.
My Imp and Conrad left a battlefield with serious wounds.Next sector that they arrived,were filled with enemies.They told me to surrender,which i did.
Next thing they were in jail,where queen came with 2 of her buddies.Joe(i think) killed my IMP  and Eliot punched my Conrad.All Squad died ;(
I wonder,what will happen if all mercs in Arulco,A.I.M,IMPs and M.E.R.C will die?Will game be over?

I have zero tolerance for casualities.
I always make ample use of quicksaves, specially on Unfinished Business: It took me more than 50 quicksaves to kill every single enemy with my IMP merc, Barry, Spider, Raven, Larry and Igor in the Guard Post at H9, though my IMP and Raven took quite a beating from the sniper b*tch on the rooftop...
Oh yeah, and the two guys hiding inside one of the buildings, they were also a pain to get rid off. Though the spoils of war were more than satisfying: A CAWS shotgun and slugs, 12.000 buck$, Spectra Helmet and Shield, Kevlar Pants, Sun Goggles, Night Vision Goggles, Sniper Scope, springs, duct tape, wire cutters, Tool/Med/1st Aid/Camo kit, Crowbar, 2 regen boosters, 1 energy booster, a G41 rifle loaded with AP ammo and a VAL Sniper Rifle with a clip of AP ammo.

In the early game, no. I don't have the money to spare on hiring replacements whenever, and a lot of my early hires are people I want to level up a bunch and take into the lategame.
As I grab mines and get richer, I start short term hiring a bunch of mid-high priced guys who are good shots but don't give me skills I really really want - guys like reaper, raven, raider, sydney, ice, etc. I use them as expendable fodder to help clear tough areas. They go in first most of the time, and if they die, they die.

Current game I've lost Grunty(went alone to flush out last attacker in Chitzena mine at night, justified), Dmitri(I forget how), and Igor(enemy sniper in an overland map, wounded most of the rest of my team too. Took alot of smoke grenades and "blind" auto bursts to take him out, I figured the battle was fun enough to keep on the record). I save scummed Barry back to life after dieing in Drassen airport defense(he tried to poke enemies from inside the fence without a buddy nearby, I figured no professional would really do that), and I'm sitting on 2 save games right now deciding which to load, before attacking a reclaimed Chitzena SAM with 10 elites, and after Wolf and Barry got shredded with machine gun bursts on the roof of the lower building.

In all honesty, I reload. I'm thinking about RPing a little bit though, no reloads, no file tampering. well maybe a little file tampering.
