Yeah i will never forget the code: XEP624 :lol It's in my brain since i was a child. :toast when i started the game after so long for the first time, i only clicked the mail to get the link and a moment later i was already at the page to enter name+nickname, wondering "wait, what did i do just now ...

Questions: is it allowed to replay MTCs at a later time - how will the results be accounted for ?

mythos

I am officially stopping this playthrough. The campaign is great, from what i have seen, and fun :twink However, OG (by extension with PG2) has been in my yearly playing list for over 20 years now and i am feeling worn out when it comes to playing - i need a longer break to recover my fighting spirit.

Great choice

mythos

Sorry for the delay, i'm recently having health issues - and i had a lot of trouble picking the starting team. The trickery around the latter is: - i have played with all of the "interesting" mercs already - i like to experience something new when re-playing - IMP mercs have less dialogue than AIM/M...

I've been thinking about a second MTC, including the rules, but haven't made a final choice yet. If other players have suggestions for campaign selection, they would like to publish them here. Suggestions are welcome. I don't know the exact criteria by which a CC is choosen, but i assume: - somethi...

mythos

At this point, I would also like to ask Mythos to make a binding statement as to whether he wants to end or break off the MTC. Elsewhere, I had already approved an extension to the end of March. I had some health issues recently (that's why the JA2 thread didn't continue), also i was under the impr...

Please don't archive this thread. I will am going to finish the campaign

mythos

Just for the record , i am strongly against a "All BV" setting, simply because in my understanding a MTC should generate the best tank with the most possible kills in a campaign ever. So it should be the player's descision to decide wether he/she goes for a BV or regular V or TV. Only BV gives a pr...

mythos

Parabellum and I had a little conversation about rules in the german Raiders PG2 forum. I asked who the overall winner of the MTC is: The person who heads the table for most kill or the person who was the best overall in all three ratings? I am in favor of the fact that all three ratings should cou...

Btw, do you train your mercs by exploiting some "features"? Like punching all the cows on every farm or operating dozens of broken and jammed guns.

Greetings generals and welocme to my Jaggeds Alliance 2 LP/AAR thread :howdy Jagged Alliance 2 was released in the late 1990's. It includes a "tactical" part and a "strategical" part.

i prefer NCTH over OCTH What does that mean? NCTH and OCTH? Old Chance To Hit New Chance To Hit 2 exclusive CTH systems.
