Do you have a favorite game hero, who`s death was very sad for you. For instance the death of Elias from Call of Duty Chosts is sad for me.

I haven't found one of those yet though; so for me I guess the answer is - there isn't one. Electrons going poof just doesn't create any sense of emotional loss for me albeit I can understand how it might for others and wouldn't mind if there was a game that had a level of quality that could invoke the same level of emotion that a well written novel or movie can.

Such games mentioned I can remember: UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka X-COM: UFO Defense from 1994), Space Crusade (video game from 1992), and Jagged Alliance serie. I have played all of those, but for some reason I don't remember feeling much anything when my game pieces did die...

That assumes that one is dumb enough to get her surrounded by the entire IJN and Kriegsmarine combined - she is of course unsinkable against any other combination of ships. Even then she would take about six months to be sunk and would have taken out 3/4 of the enemy (assuming the game is in any way realistic).

Moving on and getting back on topic it's the death Rommel playing TOF in the last stages of the battle of France where an English counter attack wounded him for 48 turns I.e December 1944. Of course I lost the game by then!

The only thing worse than that is seeing your character (the Battalion CO) get killed from an artillery barrage or an air strike. That's happened to me a couple of times.

A good example is in the X-COM games if you name your soldiers after family/friends and then watch them gain experience and awards. I named my best sniper in the new XCOM after my wife, which she thought was cool. Of course then I couldn't let her get in too much danger

My post was on topic . Sorry, but where does it state that a death has to be an individual? In wargames, and depending upon the game, players can get attached to individuals, regiments, corps, aircraft, ships or whatever.

Don't know about that. But I do know the day the music died (we were all singing "Bye, bye, Miss...").

I kept trying to play that over and over until she didn't die. I did not succeed.

The saddest death to me is....Ian Trout of SSG.

In mid game you are sent out on a mission to help her on a mission. You fight through the normal mobs blah blah but at the end she becomes trapped. You have to let her die, alone and entombed in an asteroid, to save millions. I still hear her screaming not to let her get buried alive.
