Civilization(series) Horror Stories

I wanted to make thread to civilization horror stories. Like your tank loses to a spearman. I'll start... I was playing as American and I ain't the modern era. I was trying to take this city from Saudi Arabia with modern armor. They had rifleman(civ 3) so I thought it would be an easy victory. I sent 5 modern armor units to take the city(yes I know that's over kill but my luck isn't so good with random number jesus in civ3). All five modern armor units were destroyed by one rifleman unit. I eventually took the city with Marines but that event killed my blitzkrieg. This thread will probably die since I know a lot of people don't play civilization anyways... it's worth a try
