If you don't mind me asking, which RPG are you playing?

Don't know if you want to take a 2nd look into the strategy games once again... checkout games like Mechcommander 2 and other squad based strategy games, where you are not dependent on creating and gathering, but positioning your units at the optimal location. You are usually awarded with some sort of salvage opportunity during and after mission, and the chance to repair and rearm, purchase new units, weapons and equipment prior to your next mission. However, the use of your units will be limited due to the mission parameters.
