Had depressing experience lately:

I had captured a Russian city, and there was one unit of Mech Inf and some four or five tanks in it when the Russians counterattacked. Despite that only one of the tanks was elite, TWO great leaders were born, but the both died before I could use them as the Russians took the city!

how could that be !!!!!!!!??????????

He got two great leaders becaus ethe first one died so the second one replaced it...I have had at least one great leader die straight after I got him because the Zulus sent more units to attack...
