Hello my puppets, for today we have two fights, one in Omerta and on in night at road near Drassen.

We rushed to the nearest house but got visited by one yellow shirt. He is quickly bursted by Reject as pictured below:

Then we split, Whiskey and Walter go east and try to reach those sandbags. Manatee and Taplo enter the house and cover the exit. Reject and Orgasm flank the house.

Taplo notice two guys, and Orgasm notice one. Enemies have really poor weapons yet so they will be easy to kill.

As seen here, Taplo score her first kill, nice bitch

Whiskey and Walter continue to get closer to this ruined house because as you can see, one dickhead is hidding there. Also, second kill by Taplo.

Reject and Orgasm cross the street and hide behind a building. Whiskey managed to kill the fucker in ruined building through a window

Whiskey and Walter getting closer as we will be setting an ambush for the one across the street. Taplo is taking some potshots at him, just to confuse him.

Ambush set, out team nigger joined from north.

And guess what? Ambush successful, interrupt and Whiskey put this fucker into coma with his 9mm tranqualizer.

Realtime kicks in, Mantee and Taplo cross the street, so do Walter and Whiskey.

Everybody continue to search their side of the street until Reject notice the last enemy. Together with Orgasm, they hit him three times and he run away. Not for long because two turns later he dies out of bloodloss.

Now we meet with Fatima our link to the rebels, hand her a letter from Enrico and follow her to the rebel hideout. Usuall stuff.

Here we can see Dimitri, he is guarding the door to rebel hideout. At first he is all "WTF woman? Who are those armed fuckers behind you?" but after seeing the Magical Letter he is cool and dandy and let us go down to the basement.

In the basement, we are welcomed by yet another paranoic, Carlos. The Magic Letter seems to not work with him but then UberRebel, Miguel comes in and settle the situation.
He explain that they are short on supplies and men and are very happy to see us. He tell us that we should attack and capture Drassen to get food for the rebels.
Our lovely Ira remind us that the Queen is evil, a driven bitch.
We kiss each other and say goodbye as we are going to attack Drassen now.

While we are waiting for the night to come, we watch yet another cutscene. This time with the Queen herself and everyone favourite Elliot. He is her personal assistant and gets hit by her every time she see him. Nice job he have, for sure.

The night has come and we traveled to the sector over Drassen. Some enemies here so we will have to deal with them. They are rookies and only 9 of them so it will not be a bloodbath yet.

We split into two teams, Whiskey, Walter and Reject goes in the lower team, Manatee, Orgasm and Taplo in the upper one.

As we carefully move east, one brainless dick jumps out of the darkness and shoot Reject "in da face". He then goes prone thinking we can't see him then.

But he is proven wrong by Whiskey.

As Reject bandage her ass, more enemies come but fortunately Whiskey is a battle hardened veteran and kill them easly.

Without giving me any chance to move, even more stupid dicks appear.

The upper team is shooting at the one in the middle, but they are blind fucktards and only our nigger is able to shoot him. But, he is a bit psychotic so he burst this motherfucker two times in a row, fortunately killing him the enemy in the process. But next time spill you semen, not my precious ammo you dickhead.

The second guy is killed by Whiskey, he starts to be a killing machine.

As we were occupied by those two, another one popped out south and Walter catched a bullet between his teeths.

Walter shoot, Walter miss, Whiskey kill.

An interrupt, enemy killed by Taplo, Reject assisted.

Walter spotted a bitch, and finally he managed to kill somebody :shock:

And next one got wasted by Whiskey.

The last one was killed by Reject, way to go girl

As for phat loot, there was only ammo and one pistol. I took it for a backup weapon

So, it was an easy start, not to many wound. In the first sector enemies did not even shoot at our mercs.

Next update: Drassem. Day or night?



As for the .ini settings. Im playing with HAM 3.5 and it has it "on" on default AFAIK. We and enemies will use suppresing fire and we will be in a deep shit when there will be more than 3 enemies at once shooting at us.

Kills:
Whiskey: 6 Kills 1 Assist
Walter:1 Kill 1 Assist
Manatee: 1 Kill 1 Assist
Orgasm: 0 Kill 1 Assist
Taplo: 3 Kills 0 Assist
Reject: 2 Kills 3 Assists

Is JA 2 easier to play first then playing the expansion first? Cause I got the expansion free from GoG awhile ago but couldnt really get into it

Which expansion, UB or WF? Example: UB is more linear and there for it can be seen as easier then the main game.

 

[Pliskin]

Didn't yr *ahem* night-fighter, Manatee, come with a free set of NODs? In any case, he get's +1 range at night --- put his ass up front, man! Let him act as spotter, and pop the enemy just out of their visual range.

There's always "Diedrianna's Revenge" too...

 

[Hoodoo]

Yah, UB was what I played. So its easier than Jagged Alliance vanilla?

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Yes... at least for me.

 

[Reject_666_6]

Damn boy, Whiskey rackin' up the kills.

 

[Big Nose George]

How is 75 Marksmanship == Max
That Taplo bitch has 85


And why did you make some mercs level 3. I dont remember what levels even do in the game...

(...)

Don't worry about marksmanship too much, it goes up fast anyway (assuming we live through a few battles, that is). Wisdom is that stat you want, improves learning of everything.

I always maxed marksmanship (mm) to be top of line in the first battles so you can comfortably outshoot baddies at pistol ranges. As for wisdom, except for mm, everything else is not gonna improve by alot, no matter how much wisdom you have, if you play normal. Its easier to hire mercs, who already can fulfill the role of mechanic, medics and teacher.

And voila, even a 35 mm dude got a kill

The man's right. Nights ops + Night Vision is at least 2 squares over the enemy, and I have enough health to take a few bullets .

 

[GarfunkeL]

Yup, night-time Drassen and Manatee up front!

Good luck mon!

Also, UB isn't easier than vanilla JA2. Sure, it's more linear but the enemies start out better equipped and the difficulty curve goes up quicker.

That's what I mean, the linearity makes it easier.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Nice LP you got here, gotta get myself into JA2 again.

 

[taplonaplo]

Nice, i'm alive n kickin :D. Go for night drassen

 

[Zdzisiu]

Update: First Drassen sector, the airport.

Without unnecessary babbling:

We started here. Manatee is our spotter as he have night googles v2 and you know, he is black so he have a perfect night camo

Unfortunately, it is mostly one man show as Manatee can outshot most of the enemies and they are just running confused.

In the meantime, Whiskey got shot in the face but nothing serious.

As we can see here, enemies were just getting bursted to dead.

Manatee is a complet psycho, one of every of his two is nearly always burst. I appreciate his initiative but Im seriously worred about ammo for him.

There was a big fight at the gate, but it consisted mostly of me shooting at them from darkness and them running like brainded zombies. Night fights are boooring.

After killing the ones at the gate, I proceed to flank the entrance because I did not wanted to go through the light and be spotted by some more enemies.

Our dear Manatee is checking if there is some enemy hidding in the house, because I remember getting my ass kicked from there in one of my other games.
Also, you can't see it here but there was an enemy behind my team and bursted them but only Whiskey was hit.

Here, you can see the final assault which was supprisingly easy.

Manatee killing the last but one enemy.

And here he is killing the last one. Nothing spectacular.

And Pablo is sleeping with the fish because he was a scum and a thief.

The inventory screen, anybody want anything from it?

Kill list:
Whiskey: 6 Kills 1 Assist
Walter: 1 Kill 2 Assists
Manatee: 15 Kills 4 Assists
Orgasm: 4 Kills 6 Assists
Taplo: 6 Kills 2 Assists
Reject: 3 Kills 3 Assists

I know, that was not a fun and exciting update, but that is because it was a night and enemies were just stupidly running back and forth.

What should be do know? What for the day and attack another sector? Attack know, where there is still night? Bobby have shit right now so no new and fancy equipement.

 

[Big Nose George]

First come, first serve!
Flak jacket flak jacket!
-edit-
I just realized that all mercs already have a better armor on...

 

[Reject_666_6]

You better start training militia, or else.

BTW, what weapon selection does Bobby Ray have?

[Reject_666_6]

Well I actually meant what setting he picked when starting the game, but that does answer my question. If it's shit now then I guess the setting wasn't Awesome.
