JMichThe problem is the line in items.xml
If I remember correctly, a value of 1 means OAS only, a value of 2 means NAS only, while a value of 0 (or absent tag) means both. So, open items.xml, search for medi-kit (or another item you know BR should sell but doesn't), look for the tag and remove it. There are only a few that should be left as 1, but the only one I remember is the ACOG Combo.
I've browsed through the items.xml and it's pretty massive. In order for me to search better, I open it with notepad or wordpad and do a search for the items. I started with the canteen. I understand that this was fixed for the next release, but since I don't want to wait I have no qualms in trying to fix it myself. I did notice that it seemed like the canteen has a couple of references of below it. IIRC correctly there was one just beneath the description and another one short below that.
So what you are saying is, if I set items to "0" instead of "1" or "2", BR will have the items available? I haven't looked at the other merchants in game yet, but I'm going to look for them. By the way, what does NAS and OAS mean?

UAC (again)
You are running either Vista or 7, and you have installed the game in Program Files. To edit any file there, you need administrator access. Two solutions
1) Run notepad.exe (or equivalent) as administrator, File->Open the .xml you want to modify and do the changes, or
2) Copy the file somewhere else, do any changes you deem necessary and copy it back. UAC will pop up, accept the elevated privileges.
Even better, do not install JA2 in Program Files folder
Also, what Tais is saying is this. If an item is not available in the current game settings (Sci-Fi only, Tons of Guns only, NAS/OAS only), the item will not be available for sale, enemies will never have the item, and you shouldn't be able to find it on the maps. If an item is legal with the current game settings, it is possible (but not certain) to be found in all those places.
Hope this helps clarify

You guys are awesome. The items are now available in BR's. I did have to start a new game to get the items to show up. Thanks a bunch!
