Hi,

Bit of an odd one - the game saved OK as far as I can tell, but if I try to load it nothing happens.

I loaded a different save from a couple of days earlier in the game and that played OK, but round about the same time on the clock that I was able to save this game, I get the ending saying I've failed to protect the earth and PHALANX has been disbanded.

EH?

With all but one nation "exhuberant"?
With nearly every alien flying over land, being shot down?
With terror missions always answered?

A couple of times I've had to leave crashed UFOs alone for longer than I'd like, the simple reason being I only have two dropships and they're usually out doing other missions. Realistically though, how would you make good use of the hospital and keep your team in good condition if they're sent on away missions on a constant basis?

I'd use auto-mission, but 9 times out of 10 it says I failed and I lose the team... a bit dumb given that I can consistently go into the mission, play it, and win without a single loss.
