If you are losing henchmen at a rate of more than 1 or 2 a week, and your stuff is blowing up and you haven't showered in a week and you spend most of your awake time yelling and most of your asleep time having nightmares, its time to either give up and move somewhere far far away, like Sardinia or at the very least do some out of the box thinking.
The second one is really simple: Don't talk just shoot. The reason I think most of you haven't learned this one yet is because no one has lived to tell the tale.
