I started Jagged Alliance 2 at least 12 to 20 times at various points in my lifetime.
I never got past the first four towns or so. I only finished the game once when I snuck into the final time and solo killed Deidranna. Are there any good tips & tricks to keep in mind for tactically challenged players? Is it possible to finish the game while letting the auto-battle resolve all the militia fights? I hated the militia fights.

Yeah, same. It just gets dull after a while (enemies take so long with their turns, and there are many chores to put up with), and if I stop playing for a while, I have no idea what I was doing and no motivation to continue. Also, I got burned trying that unofficial patch. The only JA I finished is. ironically. the Unfinished Business expansion. My favorite was JA1, tho.

Yeah I never bother with Militia fights, just train up your guys past green level and let them auto resolve while retreating your squads. Also bring lots of mortars and LAWs for Meduna and try and get as many attachments as you can because a CAWS with a gun barrel extender, rod and spring, laser scope, and scope is a monster. I'd also recommend periodically checking Tony's gun shop for attachments and rare items, checking Balime for ceramic plates and regen boosters to keep your men alive and have less downtime healing between battles, and trying to get Skyrider ASAP for the quick movement when the ground vehicles don't cut it.

Same I always die before I get an assault rife because all my dudes miss their shots. I shoot out of effective range because the enemies would just Merc me close range. I go behind rocks and trees and still doesn't work out. Idk how people say this game is easy. Definately not going to try 1.13 until I can get this right.

be very descriptive in your save file names. you're more likely to abandon a game if you forget what you were planning to do>Is it possible to finish the game while letting the auto-battle resolve all the militia fights?
as long as you train them to regular militia level
if you don't have enough militia trained to cover the whole town and you see an enemy patrol is about to assault a sector, you can shuffle them and move your best militia to the sector in jeopardy

I don't like all the stupid pouches that look similar but some can hold gun/ammo/anything in one slot and some that also give one slot in the same position can only hold ammo.

>Range
Get any costly merc with rifle for 24 hours
You can use them to take first town and then take both their decentish armor and rifles for avatar/other mercs
Shooting with pistols is waste of time
Make your avatar have night vision+ and do attacks at night

What are the top 10 balance changes and/or QoL changes you would like to see in "Jagged Alliance 2: Definitive Edition" (the AI upscaled 60 fps graphics version of Jagged Alliance 2 that will release in 2035)?

Does the Jagged Alliance 2 Enhanced Edition have cheevos? No point in me trying to beat an old ass hard game if it ain't got no cheevos so I can show off to my fellow gamer friends.

Is JA 3 a good game? Is it worth playing?
I heard people like it, but it disappeared from radars too fast like nobody cared.

I never finished it either but having a dedicated mortar man always seemed overpowered with how enemies tend to bunch up. Mustard gas is just hilarious.

Ok, here's my first try of the 1.13 mod, are the settings good? I disabled the inventory system because you guys say it's bad.>forgot to press post
Half of my squad got killed as they got unloaded from the helicopter. Literally before I got my first turn. Igor got burst to death the moment he dropped on the ground. Epic.And the game keeps lagging for no reason and when the mercs move in crouched mode they always go into the danger with their butt first.

How do I set JA2 Stracciatella launcher to launch from steam? I’d like my hours ingame to show up on steam but changing the file name to ‘JA2’ just leads to the game crashing
