Alright, so I hopped into a skirmish to try out my new tank with Zaka in it. I'll skip past the details and say that I got a bit overzealous and he died. But it went through the whole death speech thing where his portrait turns white like when a soldier permanently dies. If he dies in the tank is he dead dead? As in not coming back dead? If so, I better protect him a bit better in the future. I already reset after the skirmish but it seems like an important thing to know.

You know i don't know. I never have gotten him killed yet. Mostly because I was afraid that would be what would happen.

I find myself oddly reluctant to play, because it's such an awesome game i'm going to be upset when it's over.  Silly thing really.

He actually died on my last fight, and he simply retreats, like any of the other leader characters.

People that are main characters don't die, they just retreat, I'm on chapter 13. I think Rosie died on me once. During chapter 7, you know why right, i don't need to explain.

excellent. Thanks.
