Anybody play this great game? I've almost played the Axis campaign through, but still the game continues to suprise me. Any good stories about your fights? Tell about 'em. Screenshots are welcome too. I've got my share of hilarious chain reactions when barrels start to explode & my men fly out of the windows like rag dolls.


Not familiar with it? check it out.

I bought this game at my local EB this week, simply amazing strategy game. The best since the X-Com days for me :) I didnt have time for a screensnap, but I shot through the floor of a house with my mauser, heard the bullet ricochet twice, and then a guy die. From the ballistics I could track, it looks like the bullet went through the wood floor, ricocheted off of two metal lockers, and killed a nazi :) pimpin...
 
Well, nothin' can beat the good ol' xcom, but I never liked JA2 that much(guys couldn't even climb out of a window). Anyways, still the whole world(mercs & so on) in JA2 is without equal.
 
I rigged stairwell with mines and ran upstairs with enemy on my heels. Well it didn't work quite as planned because enemy soldiers climbed past my mines and started coming too close. As a Very Wise DecisionTM I threw a heavy grenade down the stairs. The two mines blew instantly and the stairwell was no more. Half of the building was gone and three of my squad found themselves from the basement.

It's great to have a scout with high hide skill to clear entire sectors with knives/silenced weapons.

I liked JA2 too but what annoyed me was that you couldn't destroy the environment like in xcom. It was just so cool to blast an ufo open or level entire buildings with blasterlauncher and storm in.
