Raven sitting in front of a door in Alma. It opens, in comes a redshirt. Raven gets the interrupt at point blank range and blows his head clean off.
End Turn.
Another red shirt comes in, Raven gets the interrupt again and blows his head off too. I think about four or five came through the door. Blood all over the place, Raven's morale bar at the highest it can be.
Priceless.

I remember something like that happening. At night a black shirt climbs up in front of my merc and blows him right off the roof. One of those very rare things.

Just imagine the following situation:
Defending Alma, about twenty blue-shirt-militia and my mercs (six at that time). In my area everything works out good, took down seven enemies. Still at the fence militia gather and get slaughtered by some black-shirts aided by some redshirts. They're far away, my troops kind a three turns away at last. Seemingly the militias are doomed to die. Cannot get worse ? It can ! One of the redshirts, standing close to some blackshirts and redshirts, pulls out a law and aims at the last group of massed militia, allready wounded.
O.K. that's it for them I think. But, hold on, the Law explodes while firing and sending most of the onslaught to hell. The rest, easy prey. Laughed my ass of.
Priceless.

In my current game I'm trying to break myself of my normal / JA:DG habit of hoarding special weapons & stuff "for when they're really needed". So on the way to San Mona, my squad got caught in a nightfight in the plains. With the last APs available for the round, my IMP threw one of his 2 precious regular hand grenades (looted from Drassen SAM) at 2 BGs. 2 more BGs behind them (unseen) were caught in the blast .. and one of the nearer ones caught on fire ... waving, staggered back, dropped to his knees and collapsed, still smoldering. Only time I'd seen that ... turkey shoot from then on, once I'd finished laughing. :bomb:

The day I discover that I could hit an enemy that was 15-20 squares away with all 5 bullets from my FA-MAS, killing him in one single burst
Must admit: hat was today, didn't use burst much unless I was at pointblank range. I used it occasionally with my IMP in a previous game with his MP5K, I could hit a bloodcat that was standing on me. Never thought that psycho and AW speciality could have such an impact.
But... Now that I have discovered it... What is the best weapon to use in burstmode (I know, wrong topic, but it will probably be answered anyway  )
I currently own:
AKM, C-7, FA-MAS, M14, G11 (no bullets though), FN-FAL.

Lots of memories from this game - have been playing for years anyway. I'll try to keep a chronological order.
When I first tried the demo (btw played it about 20 times before buying the game, wasn't sure if i liked it at first, but i realised that playing a demo 20 times WAS liking it), battling that elite guy in the basement camped into a room, then meeting with the bugs below.
When I restarted the game after a lot of times of IMP experimenting, and learned what exactly did the word "marksnmanship" mean. Then I stopped setting it to 35.
When I realised that the readme of the demo was acutally speaking the truth; the demo only showed the tactical portion of the game. JA is far more than that. Got me stuck since then.
When I found my first Steyr in Tixa. I didn't know much about guns then, but i liked the color. Soon I realised it's one of the best guns as well. It's my favourite since.
When I learned about combinations like the X-ray detector, and generally found out what items could do (like marbles). Patusco's guide was a good help, but I was late to discover.
When I finished the game bursting the queen with the auto-rocket rifle for 256 damage. Will probably never forget that too.
When I discarded the each-step-and-save-and-load-when-hit-for-more-than-1-damage thinking. And thankfully I did. I discovered the game in full, applying proper tactics, creating a team of specialists (doctors, snipers, etc) and not an IMP-solo game. Covering each other IS vital.
When I realised stats don't matter as much as positioning sometimes. A 60-marksmanship mule with a very-short-range shotgun besides a corner, and the rest of my wounded team behind him, so my only option was to count on him. Each turn one or two interrupts, usually one-shot kills against unarmoured opponents. He had 85% accuracy (it was the first time i actually shot with him).
When I realised JA has this unique sense of humour in every single piece of it. I was too young to understand all the irony at first.
When Ira, holding a scoped dragunov in excellent condition, missed a guy right next to her, twice...
When I killed Ira right after with a TNT and reloaded.
When I first installed Deidranna Lives. Knowing that there was something more than JA, was amazing. My favourite moments are when discovering the crossbow (early on) and the napalms.
When I defended Alma against 20 elites, with my squad and 20 militia, at night. I was suspecting the attack and had my mercs well-placed, so started throwing each and every grenade I had towards them. The battle ended with 20 elites dead, and only a milita dropped to duying (which i saved eventually). I still have that savegame.
When I was playing JA2 on a hot-seat style with one friend. Each created his merc (had to hack though) and playing it individually. It was fun cooperating like this.

The first time I played, it was a cakewalk thanks to the random stuff going on. I took Drassen and headed out at night to the next sector south which, unknown to me, was filled with the enemy. Unknown to them, it was also filled with bloodcats. So, my team stood there listening to a lot of growls and shoooting and when it was all done, there was nothing left except one very badly wounded bloodcat and lots of toys.
Then, we go off to the Alma warehouse, we pick EXACTLY the right spot to cut through the fence, Raven jumps onto the roof one square away from the sniper with the UV goggles (who is looking the other way), and she empties her MPSK into his head. Alma has never been so easy ever again.
Finally, while playing Vietnam SOG Raven has the Stoner and takes up position in this little jungle area where there is only one way into the village. Team makes some noise, enemy walks out, she gets the interupt, fires a burst into the head, and gets the exploding head sequence. Back to real time, next guy steps into the same spot, same result with 10-12 exploding heads in a row. Quite the pile of bodies.

I conquered Meduna and made some melitias. After a while of searching deidrianna ( i didnt find her yet) i went to the tunnel wich leads to meduna and i find Joe. I killed Joe, killed all the enemys but the game keep sayin that the sector was not clear. After a long time searching the place i went Queens palace and then i fond elliot standin in the middle of the melitias. It was a priceless moment to see the mother****** being shot from everywhere, he didnt last a second.

Trying to conquer one of the SAM sites and 5 of my men are lying in the woods and shooting at the enemy while Wolf sneaks behind the enemy and blasts them all with a shotgun. I think there were 5 or 6 redshirts. That was kinda fun.

Daily Journal Day : 37
9am
Awoke this morning with the rest of the
team. In sector H8 the Cambrian Mines
Raring to go after having fully trained
the Remaining Militia in the City, and repairing
ALL equipment, including 3 Mortar Rounds
captured From the Sam site just south of the
city. We divided up into two squads, and
called in the chopper for Pick up of my self,
Dimitri and, Ira. While Scope, Wolf, and
two new sign ons Grizzly, and Fox were to
remain here until dark and clear the road
of sentrys that had retaken the main
intersection North of the city.
I decided to check the city and it's occupants
over while the Helicopter Flew in from the
Airbase. I went to sector G9, and
dropped off some stuff, & picked up some stuff,
I also Noticed Carmen in the Cafe.
I then went to Sector G8 to look
around there. I met a lady named Martha, who said
she was Looking for her kid. I saw two other
people looking kinda suspicious, and remembered.
I had seen them when i took the sector from
the Enemy. Sure enough they were on Intercept's
Most wanted List. There was a hit out on Mom
and Kris Carver both.
:axe:
I chopped off her head as proof for Carmen.
Started to head for Kris with the head in my
hand, when i realized I better put the head down,
and i did. I went up to Kris he was standing
inside a building with the door open. I walked in
He looked a little worried, as i Shot a full
Burst at him. He swore out a curse, as he
proceded to burst back at me, one shot pierced
my body armor Causing a fleshwound
:axe:
Patched my arm and side. To stop the bleeding.
:ok:

Well for my moments.
The first one I experienced was when Pablo stole my stuff.
I had learned the punch and shoot trick and my habbit was giving him a bullet.
So Razor (Was kicked out after that) got the job to give him a single bullet from the G3.
He goes psycho, hits Burst and fires three rounds into him, and kills him, getting the fancy civillian death animation on Pablo.
The other one was when I were attacking Meduna, I thought I had 3 enemies.
Then I see one, pulls out a LAW and I say: "Holy shit, I am done for!" He fires it, I watch the projectile travel a short path, hits an enemy and kills him, FRIENDLY Fire, good for me bad for them.

Playing the Deidranna Lives mod, I attacked the gunrunner sector just outside Drassen. I'm doing pretty well for myself, having waxed 4 GR with Slay and Nakano, my IMP. I'm set up next to the cliff so that any of the GR's walk out, I get first shot. Another one pops out, Slay headpops him with the Scout. Head goes *SPLAT*, bullet keeps going and detonates the gas tank on the building, wiping out 3 more 'runners. Lovely, just freakin' lovely. :bomb:
