Hello! Back from an extended absence of at least 3 years...and I've forgotten how to reserve time units in JA2. I remember that you can, and I remember that it was never covered in the manual...

What do you mean by "reserve time units"?

You know...like in the previous JA's you could set your Mercs to reserve AP's for firing after they move.

So when you had them move, they'd stop moving when they still had enough units to shoot, instead of just walking and takin up all their APs


I'm not crazy am I? I could have sworn this ability is in JA2, just as it was the previous versions...

I do remember that feature. But i believe it was only in JA1 and Deadly Games. I know it's not in JA2 though.

I never remember it in JA1/DG (but it's ben a LOOOONG time) and it is definitely not in JA2. It was a feature of XCom, though.

In JA1/DG you would right-click on their portraits and they'd "flip." The reserve time units was the middle button.

It worked just like X-Com

I'm sure almost sure that is in JA2! Because I remember it was never covered in the manual, but it was in the game, came out on a forum or FAQ or something else...or am I going crazy? No, why would they NOT put it in...arrrrgh! Well...hmm...now I'm not sure, and that's going to REALLY bug me...

i don't think i've seen this feature in ja2, but surely its just a case of not using the ap's, which will "reserve them" for shooting

Yeah...I'm beginning to remember it not being in the game...which is SOOO WRONG!

It's a really handy feature in the other two.

Reserve time units I only remember comes from X-COM UFO Defence, it's not really needed for jagged alliance 2, you just have to keep an eye on your AP.

You can save up to 5 Aps for use in your next turn but no more than that. If your merc starts with 25 APs and you use them all, the next turn he will have 20 or 19 depending on the invisible (fractional) AP. Save 5 and he usually gets 25 again. I usually save 5 or 6 at the end of each turn until I need to use all of them.

ElJefe --

Maybe you're misremembering the aiming thing? You know, right-click to increase AP spent on aiming, sort of that JA1/DG setting that would "reserve" AP for max aiming.
