As others have mentioned, I'm cautiously optimistic.
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

My bad  :hide:

I've always had fun with games from Haemimont even though they are not perfect.

Releases tomorrow....some reviews are in, I know IGN isn't often reliable, but they gave it a 9/10.  Sounds like it might be good for me, lot of options and seems not overly complicated.  I did pre order so will try this weekend.

Loitering with intent on this one, although I have never played any of the other games.

Also loitering

Played the one everyone is supposed to 1.13(?) without realising it was a lot deeper than shoot these guys and collect money

I'm not one of those 'you can never recreate the original' purists - as long as it's a good game its pedigree doesn't concern me

The couple of folk I have seen on You Tube seem to be pretty impressed with it which give the steaming pile of excrement some of the earlier attempts to cash in on JA2 came up with sounds really encouraging.

The UI is not the best from what they have said and what I have seen but other than that it looks a lot of fun in a Wasteland 3 type of way when it comes to tactical combat. It isn't overrun with trying to show how politically correct it is either which as I am an unreconstructed dinosaur is a huge plus for me in this day and age.

Looks to be one to pick up I think.

Somehow I read that as loining / moistering with intent...  :HideEyes:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.

I pre ordered some time ago.

I'm ready for some 3rd World exploitation.

First game I pre ordered in years.  Where's my damned key?

DasTactic is doing a stream right now on Twitch with Jagged Alliance 3.

But I will be waiting for release and waiting.

The stream I saw mentioned a decent sized release day patch was due so they may be incorporating that prior to release which is to be applauded.

Where do you see that as I still see July 14th which has always been the date.  Would be odd to release on a Saturday if pushed back a day.
