!!Cold War Crisis
* Near the end of the campaign, Guba loses his temper and shoots his secretary. The character in question might have been [[TheManBehindTheMan scheming]] and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], but you still feel sorry for the brutal murder. The event marks not just Guba's final MoralEventHorizon, but the definite start of his VillainousBreakdown as well.

!! Resistance
* The many deaths of ''Resistance'''s main characters. When you finally reach the BittersweetEnding of the campaign, at least half of them have been KilledOffForReal. Including Troska's girlfriend and Troska himself - he does a HeroicSacrifice in the final mission, so his countrymen could live to see another day.
** Made all the more depressing when you realize that Guba managed to get off the island on time and escaped justice scott-free ({{justified|Trope}} PlotArmor, since he needs to show up in ''Cold War Crisis'' and ''Red Hammer''). So, in a way, TheBadGuyWins. On the bright side, the tiny island nation is saved and it's hinted at that it gained protection from NATO and peace from the Soviets after the war.
