HG may have its problems but I think that in many ways it's an improvement over JA2. And which other games do you know that will allow you to simply hack into XML files to make mods by a complete novice with a text editor?<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE ...

You get the first hint at the Safari, though the money for taking Janus's side is too good to pass up early in the game.

Well, the fact that you're employed by someone called "Janus" (after the two-faced God) is a not-so-subtle clue that you're going to be stabbed in the back sometime.

Looking forward to the normal mode version ...

In the game in which I experienced this bug (I mightily regret not having a save of it to give to Erik) there was a very clear path to the bodies. You can see the corpses in my pics posted in the AAR subforum (defending the dam).

These particular Russians must lead very sheltered lives.

Sorry, there isn't. It's one of the major flaws in the design of this game.

Wildfire is intolerably buggy. You'd do far better to get JA2 gold (v1.12) and then apply the v1.13 mod to it.

If they made this game another RTS (like the world needs yet another RTS) it would lose most of its audience. Really really really bad idea.

Which is much of the reasoning behind why Strategy First yanked GFI's license to make JA3.

Beware though, the AP and OC ammo is mislabled and you should use the red ones even if they are called OC.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>So it's the color of the x54 ammo we should go by, not the labeling? Thanks for that bit of info. I've been wanting to ...

The repair order is held items, then worn items, then items in your pack (large slots before small slots).

For you, I'd recommend the middle level.

Is there any difference between this release and Beta 2?

Thanks, Slick! Now Erik won't think I'm hallucinating, since it seems that half of the bugs that I report he's been unable to replicate

If it worked then you've found a bug, not a feature.

The left hand only can serve as "extra" storage if the item in the right hand is a one-handed-use item. If your right hand is holding a two-handed weapon you cannot use the left hand for anything else.

HG has interrupts (as does JA2). The problem is that they don't work well at all. It's a pretty broken part of the game.

Yes, I checked the traverse a while back and it's too narrow to be of practical use in a game -- at least the way I play.

Thanks. That's very useful to know!

But you missed the step called "Bad" that's between Weak and Critical.
