So, a big problem I have encountered in Jagged Alliance is entering buildings with enemies inside, only to have them interrupt, shoot me three or four times and kill the merc without being able to do anything about it. Is there a way to prevent this, by for example having more mercs looking into the room. I would hate for this to be determined by luck alone

Stealth Mode + Strafe Walking. Or try bombing the top of the building to create a viewing hole....

Try multiple entry points if you can or have one squad shoot on an opposite wall and then storm in from the other side. Usually the enemy is facing where they heard the last shot.

The shooting might work actually. Although in the first game, I have snuck up on someone, shot them in the back for 30 odd damage, only to have them turn around and nail me three times, the enemy seems to have a crazy amount of AP compared to your guys

That's where a good auto weapons specialist is handy, open up a clip on them, even if it doesn't kill them it should wind them enough for next turn. The same reason shotguns or high shock weapons are a good idea. If you're fairly early in the game I find throwing knives by skilled mercs are also good for fatal hits if you can catch them off guard.

Checking about an actual game the section you put answer into is could be of real help too.

For OT JA2 i would recommend open door with highLvl merc to minimize enemys chance for interrupt,
do not enter instead throw smoke grenade to cover 2+ tile radius behind door inside,
step on 1st tile and use stun grenades in order to minimze dmg on innoccent bystanders,
as JA2 & 1.13 has many of them, i.e. does use protect_camper cheat at the degree JA1 does,
and zero civ casualties is one of my highest priorities. (Of course unless we are speaking about cleve;)


In 1.13 you can also use climb window, e.g. in Balime where we have campers trap_locked in southern building.
Or a spy, although that may require some exp of merc and player to work properly.


For TT JA1 i have little memory left, think its rather effective to destroy doors,
shoot from distance to trigger interrupt(s),
other merc(s) step into doorway from the side to get some "safe" hits in and go back behind cover.
Just make sure to have enough explosives left to blow all the infected trees from the map.
(iirc hardly more than 3 on 1st day)


For JA2 and perhaps also JA1 you can leave_and_immediately_return_to the specific sector,
in order to force new distribution of enemies in the sector, unless the spots in the buildigs have higher priority than those outside.
