I've bought JA2 when it came out in 99', after spending countless hours playing the first Jagged Alliance game and enjoying the brilliant blend of tactics, strategy, interesting plot and yet being rather open world. Jagged Alliance 2 kept all of these aspects and did it even better. When thing that is worth noticing about JA2 is the amazing v1.13 mod (here: http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/ ) created by fans and maintained until today (last update in late 2014!). This mod and others add tons of new aspects to the game, from extra realistic equipment handling to completely new and challenging campaigns. A must try for squad level tactics fans.
