After Drassen is Secure?[message #36042]

Hello. I just recently got JA2 and I'm loving it. I need some help though. I took Drassen and the mine and have a significant militia force there being trained by one of my mercenaries. A full squad of six Mercs is ready to attack. I got Skyrider back to the airport. Now I need to take out the SAM site. However, the only weapons I have are measly pistols, a submachine gun, and a shotgun. I need to get some rifles. Whenever I attack the SAM site I get wasted by the sniper(s)? Anyway, where should I go from here? I have the game saved I just can't seem to get out there and get good weapons. The gun shop online seems to only have pistols. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help.

btw- If you like JA2, you should checkout Silent Storm. While the voice acting and story are a little weird, the gameplay and strategy involved are spot on! Wink

Hi Firefly2442, welcome. I think you will have to try everything. I will not spoil your pleasure on the game by telling everyting. Try to visit other maps around Drassen, try several websites on your laptop etc etc. Smile

what I usually do is to hire top guys like Gus and/or Lynx for a day. These guys come with long-range weapons.

If you attack at night, you won't need long range weapons. However, you should have 1 or 2 mercs with nightops skill for night attacks.

The roof sniper at the SAM site can still be a bit tricky to approach at night (hint: wire cutters may be useful). He may injure someone, but you shouldn't have any casualties if you are careful (don't hesitate to retreat if things go wrong) and provide backup for your point man.

Thanks all. How do I transfer money and silver from my characters to my bank account? When I click the withdraw/deposit button all I see is the ability to withdraw. Do I have to be near a bank or something?

Take the money in your hand and click the dollar sign (deposit button) on the interface.

Well, I hired Len and was able to take the Sam site at night. I was suprised to have Len climb up on the roof and there was no sniper! He was hiding among the Sam sites. Almost lost my main character but I got him. Sadly, I didn't get his gun. Oh well, I scored a bunch of submachineguns from that battle. I think it's time to take out another mine.

Thanks. Smile

I assume you're not playing with the drop all items feature? Otherwise you would already have numerous AK-102s and 104s, a FAMAS, a G41A2, a G3A3, an M24 and a Scout. Ah, playing at expert level rocks Very Happy

EDIT: Ah, wait, since you just got the game, I assume that you're playing it without the 1.13 mod? If you're not, then damnit, get it ASAP. It adds so many new tactical elements, not to mention packs a whooping 100 new weapons! (Trust me, if you're thinking wehter that specific weapon is in there, it is.)

Yeah, I got the 1.07 patch. I'm downloading the mod/patch now. Wow, lots of features! This'll be great. Time to start over again. I was doing well but I think it would be easier if they dropped all the items. That sounds more fair and realistic to me. Smile

Thanks.

Uh, so I downloaded the English version from two different mirrors (both had slightly different filenames) and both installers are in German. Is there an English one out there?

btw- here's a great installer utility (free too) that you might want to think about using.

Hmm, well, it seemed to work. The installer must just be in German. I could make an English one if there is an interest....

Sounds good to me if you would. When I downloaded the latest build it was a little confusing at 1st with it being in german, I thought for a min I downloaded the german version. Smile

But it worked just fine.

OK. I just created an installer. I'll start another thread in the appropriate forum area. Smile
