Well not so much as a story as a very quick fail. I was playing Empire: Total war as the Russians. I attacked a Crimean Khanate fort, out manned them by over 200 men felt pretty confident in myself. Get to the deployment stage and I decide not to move my men around, poor choice. I have my Generals in front, then my lines of Cossacks, infantry, cannons, and cavalry in the back. Start the battle, see the enemy line coming towards me and I command my cannons to fire on them. My canons fire and they immediately a General, except its my General. Still foolishly thinking I could win this fight I send out my men and about 5 minutes into the battle my front lines start to retreat. So I did the only noble thing I could think, I quit the game without saving.
