My first try on 1.13 was very fun, I had no idea of the Drassen counter attack, so it took me completely by surprise. All I had was my IMP and Ira, both lightly injured, healing at the mine, when the Queen's troops attacked during the night. I had no grenades, no Assult rifles or sniper rifles, 1 ACOG 4x scope, and not even a smg for either of them (the 10mm had no ammo left)
Attempt 1: Ira and IMP both have a pistol and tries to "wing it"... didn't even last 3 minutes.
Attempt 2: Ira and IMP both have 2 pistols and runs as they shoot. Nope, overwhelmed.
Attempt 3: Ira and IMP climbs onto 2 different roofs beforehand... Nope.
Attempt 4: [a bit frustrated now] Ira and IMP tries to pick up enemy drops, and see if they can get a smg or grenade... Nope, it's like running into a zombie herd.
Attempt 5: Ira picks up a Type 85! Oh yes! I always thought type 85 was garbage, but at that moment it was like the wood from the true cross...! Full Auto into the zombie herd... Nope, there were simply too many of them...
Attempt N: I gave up on it for a few days, then I saw "Mr and Mrs Smith" and was inspired... Ira and IMP both stood in the middle of the central roof, double pistols each, with their backs to each other, and lots of loaded pistols in their pockets, and the pistols they can't carry at their feet. No reloading. They just rotated on that roof and danced around... It was beautiful. The most intense firefight I've ever experienced.

I've got a bit of a bug problem in Drassen at the moment, and Biff and Flo are currently camped out in the mining-commission shack in D13 to keep them under control while my other squads clean up a few other details (and we wait for a shipment of heavy ordnance to clean out the hive like they did it in the Old Corps). Now, in all my years(!) of playing JA2, I've never actually put either of those two face-to-face with the Crepitus, so I didn't know quite what to expect from them, but being that they had a well-protected position, NVG-IVs, Dyneema armour, fully tooled-up M4A1s, and thirty veteran militia for back-up, I figured they couldn't go far wrong. What I didn't count on was Biff's reaction to being confronted with half a dozen Crepitus - which was both perfectly in-character for him and struck me as a Crowning Moment of Funny.
I mean, he's not exactly a model of composure at the best of times - but hearing Biff screech "Oh, my God! OH MY GOD!" in utter panic had me in stitches. :biglaugh:
Then he played the pack eighteen rounds' worth of rock-and-roll, wounding five of the six and killing two of them outright, proudly proclaiming "I put that thing's lights out!" - and getting Flo's 'excellent, Biff!' line to boot. :rulez:
Sometimes, the interactions in this game are just superb. :luckystrike:

There's a Finnish-speaking NPC in Renegade Republic? Shee-it, I really need to get windows up and running, some way or another...
Anyway, back to topic: I was playing an all-female game. I was taking Alma training facility with my IMP Pine, Fox (IIRC) and Buzz. The gateguard somehow saw Buzz and Fox before they saw him and sent a burst towards them. They both go prone, unscratched, and Fox says: "That was close!" "You call that close?" Buzz replies, and sends another reply to the gates (I still hadn't seen the guy even though I could guess where he was, but I had enough bullets to shoot blind) with her M4somethingorother. Tatatatata! "Argh! Unf! Ohhh..." *thud* "I don't carry it around to look good, jackass!" Buzz has never been one of my fave mercs, until now.
EDIT: Forgot to ask you pardon my inglese.

My favorite part or memory about JA2 was in the demo, the characters interactions (Gasket going crazy over Vicki in the basement and Vicki freaking out), but mostly opening the garage door with Vicki using her silenced desert eagles and silently taking out the guards before they triggered the alarm.
XD
Can you believe that I have always wanted this game since it came out but only just got it last month! Needless to say I am going crazy over the game and can

It was pretty funny. My team handled it extremely well, as I was just camping the bottom of the map and letting the enemies fight it out. Even my sniper couldn't see what was going on very well!
In general, though, bloodcats annoy me. From the early-mid game on, I don't carry HP or Glaser since enemies are quickly getting armor, and 7.62 belt HP is hard to find.
Speaking of, I like to carry a few boxes/belts of 7.62 AP/tracer once I have the truck/hummer and use them to reload my weapons out of combat (since there's no penalty for this). Saves a lot of weight on those heavy clips.
I had another funny moment while taking Meduna, when an enemy tried to put suppression fire on my sniper. Instead of hitting me, he hit an ally standing in front of him about 5 times for -22 and knocking him down. Good stuff, as Magic would say.

I just had a priceless moment. I loaded Skyrider and Thor into the heli at B13 and flew them to B12. then they BOTH dismounted from the heli and walked back to B13. No popup or comment from the game. The heli is still in B12. I have never seen this happen before.

I had a fairly good time liberating Cambria, already done Drassen and Chitzena (1.13 WF), working my ass off though not to get shot to pieces. That's since I was doing it with second squad, also known as my 'meh' Mercs. Composed of Ira/Dimitri/Gasket/Grunty/Grizzly and Fox. Anyway, last sector of Cambria, the Mine. Oh how I dread thee.
My first playthrough first squad got mauled here, lost both of my IMP's here almost and got Ivan killed though he did manage to shoot 4 guys up so yeah for Ivan.
Anyway to continue, now a bit more cautious I placed my mercs around the approaches to the Mine, placed the three G's together and FID as well, made them 'look/aim' at the same time. Alright, 4 red-shirts (or.. blue-shirts). A short round of shooting later, 4 corpses.
Alright going good, note that the entire squad was positioned near the bottom edge of the screen, where yes the Sam-site is. Two turns pass, shooting one or two during an interrupt suddenly. Oh my god. 10 Leet's standing amongst my Mercs. All loaded to the teeth (the alt-popup function), I gulped, fired down three and promptly got both Ira and Dimitri killed. But the 4 AIM members stepped up and kicked ass and chew bubblegum.
End of story, Gasket/Nearly dead, Fox, gained 2 levels and like +5 Mark, Grizzly killed two Leet's with his bare hands. And Gumpy got 2 jams in a row (his gun was empty so I had him pick up an enemy weapon), before deciding screw this, throwing a nade and landing it perfectly behind a barrel which blew up vaporising the enemy.

it's a shame that bullet casings/spent shells aren't modelled in because there'd be piles of ammo and blood all over the place lol
