It took me a long while but I've finally managed to stop procrastinating long enough to visit a friend and scan the old Jagged Alliance 1 strategy guide published by Sir-Tech back in ye olde days.

What you can expect inside:
- Charts listing all mercs' stats and traits.
- Charts listing all weapons, armors, explosives, and items' strength and properties.
- Walkthrough for all quests, with all the possible locations where Brenda and quest items can be found.
- The solution for all crypted messages.
- Detailed maps of all sectors, with enemy items drops, crates and items locations (including the items' condition).
- Mines, bombs, and boobytraps locations (including how difficult they are to spot and disarm).
- Whether remotely controled explosives are present on a map, where the switch is, and which redshirt will try to remote detonate it.
- The lock strength of every door, and which door each key is supposed to be used.
- It even lists which water tiles are shallow or deep.

Feel free to share and spread the word.
Feel free to reupload this guide on better mirrors.
Feel free to talk about the data found inside.
But please, do not thank me, because I had plenty of time and opportunities to scan this guide in the past eleven years or so and I haven't done so until this week.

The guide can be grabbed on the Jagged Alliance page over at moddb, in the files section:
https://www.moddb.com/games/jagged-alliance

It is also available on Mediafire:

Nice.
Back then I bought JA1 in form of a designated game magazine, so I never had that.
Make sure to give it to the GOG staff as well, so they can add it to the game bonuses.

One more huge thanks from me. It has been many years since I played JA1, let alone cared or thought about what seemed this impossibly lost strat guide, But all these years later, entirely by chance, I saw your post title on the JA forum and, sure enough...a very nice copy of this lost guide. You have done the equivalent of pulling the sword from the stone. I don't know if I will get back into JA1 even enough to try this guide out soon, but for whenever I do get around to it (curiosity and nostalgia if nothing else). You are a scholar sir, and more importantly a gentleman. I salute and thank you sincerely,
