If a character dies and they're not supposed to die for the story, I restart the battle.
No exceptions.
This is actually much harder than it sounds, as many times I'm at a point where I can easily finish the battle, but I just happen to lose a guy withing the last three or so turns.
Quite frustrating and time consuming, but I know it'll help a lot later in the game.
Yeah, I don't really consider that cheating. It's still an incentive not to let anyone die. And they take precautions to make sure you have to restart the mission if you do that. I do it as well.
Sometimes if someone I don't really care about/I have a replacement for dies and the mission was really hard I'll let them die, but that's pretty rare.
