I did receive an early copy of the game, but I’m not otherwise associated with Jagged Alliance 3, Haemimont Games, or THQ Nordic in any way. I’m just an oldschool gamer who loves oldschool tactical games. 🙂

Great episode
Swap out the gooair rifle…..lol. Propper pronunciation is Gu-Vair. W's are Vs, V's are F's.

A Bridge Too Far? I love that movie!
They say "the Major will hear of this!" as though it's some kind of threat; let's hope he does hear of it, and trembles in terror at his inevitable demise.
You know I do hope that at some time you grab scully I don't know why but I often feel like things are incomplete if I don't use scully when is a safe bet to recruit him and keep him around is a me thing but man I just love using Scully
alphabet people killing poor Africans 😀 well that's new 😀 i guess we'll never see usa vs China or equal power vs usa.
Crowbars and lockpicks are very rare further into the game and the durability loss is like 10-15% per use and you are scraping the crowbars for 2 parts !! You will need to use them a lot in the future.
Movement on the map is affected by leadership. You can see this bonus when you select the destination and it tells you how long it will take. The bonus is leadership – 25. So leadership 100 vs 25 is 4 times faster. You can make different teams and have them race to test it 🙂
even tho it wasn't planned, it was a great episode. I enjoyed the accidental suspense.
As mentioned below… NEVER scrap lockpicks! I have a list of locked containers I must still go back to after I eventually found another lockpick. I actually hired Vicki for her special repairable lockpick recently 🙂
Also, that hunker down ability is actually rather useful, caries some AP over to your next turn. Useful when repositioning for a shotgun or a grenade.
The mine straight north from tutorial island is a great first stop as well btw, went there first on my new campaign. No settlement so no loyalty, full profit from the moment you claim it and you can hire more miners in Fleatown to boost income further!
Edward longhsanks "By god sir earl, either go or hang." Earl of Norfolk "By the same oath oh king, I shall neither go nor hang." Somewhat more classy, but essential the same exchange as between Ret and the ganger.
It's crazy how shit this game is compared to JA2. The combat is boring, the sectors tiny, the ai is beyond stupid, the constant camera movement when shooting is unnecessary. Really, what a shit show. And still it's the best we got since JA2. How is that even possible?
hmm ak should have barrel grenades too… i hope those exist…
poor ghost…
Really enjoying the methodical approach of this playthrough. Even in situations that are not ideal that kind of playstyle still allows for a good outcome.
45:00 A dissent on the value of Pin Down.
I would suggest it's preferable for snipers to pin down when they can. Because:
1) It's a low AP action that can usually be taken after a shot. Presuming the sniper did not need to move and shoot.
2) It leaves enough AP after the subsequent shot to either move, shoot again, or set overwatch on the following turn.
Since 3 AP won't net you even 1 overwatch shot anyway, this is competing with either movement or Take Cover. I'd choose the Pin down unless the sniper is in danger.
Also, I'd missed our favorite Bullet Sponge. Glad to see him back. 😄
'shinny new shotgun!' chuckles demonically.
What a miraculous river, an unpowered boat will float upstream, not downstream.
Is it just me, or do others always expect something creepy when they hear the word "sanitarium?"
FYI, "rout" and "routed" are pronounced with an "ow" as in "ow, that hurt!"
Al Capone ran a soup kitchen in Chicago…
"I think I'll just run to where these two grenade craters are. What could possibly go wrong?"
Excellent angle on the Fort, amazingly entertaining to watch you having to 'blunder' into that sector and then clear it out as clean as you did!
Not sure if you figured it out but you can use wirecutters on the pipe bombs for more gunpowder and parts. Dont think it works on any other grenades
Accidental blunder turned into taking a fort with ease. Having multiple characters wounded and tired as well, nice!
