Do you ever restart a campaign because your opening just feels wrong?

Hey all,

Not sure if anyone else does this, but I catch myself restarting strategy game campaigns more often than I'd like to admit.

Sometimes I'll get 20 or 30 turns in and realize I made a few poor decisions early on, expanded in the wrong direction, or just had a rough start compared to what I usually aim for. At that point I'm tempted to start over instead of trying to recover.

I'm wondering how other players handle this. Do you stick with a campaign no matter what and treat it as part of the challenge, or do you restart if the opening doesn't go the way you wanted?

Lately I've been trying to force myself to play through mistakes, but it's definitely harder than hitting the "New Game" button.
