This is Jagged Alliance Stracciatella a cross-platform (stable) JA2 runtime using the base game's files. Thus we are playing an unmodded game, expert difficulty, tons of weapons, sci-fi setting with a higher resolution. House rule: No reloading, dead is dead. Until either Deidranna or my alter ego are dead. Buuuuut: I spent 100+ hours ingame but never progressed past the mid game. And never on 'expert' difficulty. So the outcome is open.... ================================================= Setting the sceneThe excellent and short intro conveys the story and atmosphere much better than I could with blahblah: There's stuff!
So, the rebels are in a bad shape and need help. We accepted the contract and... ooooh, mail!Oh, noes. It's fucking spam: Although, I do love personality tests. Let's click the link. [Gameplay-wise this Buzzfeed-like questionnaire is the character creation screen that determines your AEs personality and skills. For the most part it's pretty easy to figure out what leads to what]
There we go: [specialites: Night Ops & Auto Weapons]================================================= Next up: Hiring some mercs and an actual battle! Edit: Oh and I forgot, playing this with Wildfire maps, to change things up a little.

Part 4: Oh, shit.
Cala moves south. The enemy still hasn't detected our team in cover. We'll keep it that way.
Encounter!
0703: An Arulconian soldier fires the first shot of the conflict.
We fire back.

Many fond memories at any rate for this. It really had good LOS mechanics, the AI was pretty sophisticated, but I kind of loved how much personality it felt like the characters had even if on re-viewing it wasn't based on scripted cut-scenes and complicated loyalty quests, etc.

(sorry for the slow updates)
Mission Diary - Day 01 Men killed: 3, 9mm hollow point left: 41, calories: 5424 (deployment overseas no reason to get lazy!) =============================================================================
Hah. Hah! Victory. Everyone dead, not a scratch on the team. Am such a good team leader.
Scouted the place. The Arulco, Aruloconian?, Arulconesian?? The Enemy Forces turned half the houses into a boobied deathtraps.
Sent Barry to disarm. Do not want civilians to be harmed. Also gesture probably playing well with the local populace: Brownie points are the currency of a successful insurgency. (Such a clever line! Mental note: Find appropriate opportunity to use in conversation. )
Oh well... Looks worse than it was really. All digits still attached, he'll be fine in no time.
I hope...
Town is complete a complete junkyard. Met one woman, at first - understandably - distrustful...
...but managed to convinced we are for real.
====================================
Meanwhile in Meduna...
====================================
Back in Omerta:
Now, wait a moment you admittedly somewhat sexy discount-ché. I am not going to supply young women to pedo priests!
Now that totally makes sense. If think you about it what we are doing is just another form of humanitarian aid.
Onwards to Drassen.
