I too have lost a lot of lot of lot of troops in special ops. Its going to sound like repeating what has been said many times before but I'd like to remind others, that special ops rewards is randomised which doesn't mean guaranteed.
Doing the ops is like going to a casino to play blackjack/21, you get a reward when you have a winning hand and a bigger reward when you have 21. you can play multiple times not get anything for a long time then decide to keep going till you either win or lose everything.
The key point is when I play, I have to choose whether to carry on or not, So my new thinking to approach ops is know when to stop.
What do you guys think?
