Just wanted to say few words to Ja2.

I´m playing Video games for 20 years+ or so, in favour tactic games like xcom, incubation and so on. For some reasons I never got into JA2, since it was released, I guess it was 1999 I´ve done several attempts, but never got beyond Drassen. Although I had great fun playing JADG. Few weeks ago I really had the desire to play a good tactic sim and started with JAUB. I think the fact, that it is mission based, without the grand strategy layer made it easy for me to get a grip of the game mechanics. After finishing JAUB I instantly started JA2. I had no choice, haha.
I´m in meduna now, and the final battle isn´t far away.

Above all, I must say, wht a fool I am, not to recognize all the years, what a gem this is. On the other hand I´m glad, that I´ve discovered this game even in my old days. So much replay factor.

I´m just looking forward to 1.13 and the Vietnam mod, so there is still enough to do.

I know thats nothing special for JA veterans, but just wanted to drop my coin in.

Well, better late than never! ;)

Happy you! JA2 is still the better JA game in the whole, never fully reached by the recent others.

I bought JA2 in a box when it came out and i still play it today from time to time.
Enjoy Ja2 Vanilla and once you mastered it check out 1.13. It adds quite alot complexity and has great features which make the item micromanagement alot smoother (and those fights with AI troops on your side.. these turns take foreeeever; speedup YAY!!!).
