An update to bitComposer Games' Jagged Alliance: Back in Action product section adds a whole bunch of new screenshots, showing the upcoming Jagged Alliance 2 remake, well, back in action. On a related note, there's also new preview of the game on The Armchair Empire with firsthand impressions after seeing an alpha version of the game. Thanks Callaway.

I would prefer something like Brigade E-5's "paused real time" over "plan-and-go", but...well...here's simply hoping it's a good JA game.

Both ways would suck.

I've put maybe 35 minutes into Frozen Synapse and have yet to beat the first mission. I'm probably overestimating the time spent, but as of right now I have three issues:
1) Planning really does feel like cheating to me.
2) I have no sense for what the AI will do when. Mostly because I've reset after 1 round most times (I think I've done about 10 rounds total, maybe 12.) This is a me issue, of course.
3) I have no sense for why my guys do or do not fire. Too often I feel like I have them sitting, knowing where a red guy will come from, but they just sit there and get picked off by a red guy that spends 3 seconds staring before firing himself. I think I had at least 5 rounds before one of my guys fired a single bullet, which was frustrating as they were aiming the right way.

Frozen Synapse, when I learn it (if I ever have time, after half an hour I went back to an unfinished X-COM game and will probably return) works, though, because guys are commodities. Like X-COM. In JA they're finite resources.
