Jagged Alliance 2/Tactics



Careful tactics should be used to be successful in combat. Keep these things in mind:


 * 1) Use crouching and prone stances wherever possible.
 * 2) Spread out so that your team won't get blasted to pieces by a single errant grenade. Don't spread out so much that your mercs become vulnerable individually.
 * 3) Keep your mercs aligned within view of each other to maximize combat interrupts.
 * 4) Wear suitable vision gear for day and night conditions.
 * 5) Stay out of lamp-light; stick to the shadows, as well as near walls.
 * 6) Try to create an intersecting crossfire so that soldiers running in one direction are interrupted from the other. This is called an enfilading field of fire.
 * 7) Avoid being exposed around corners.
 * 8) In JA2 1.13, use pistols for shorter ranges where longer weapons become ineffective.
 * 9) Fire from the rear. Try and ensure your guys in front remain undetected.
 * 10) Take cover and use grenades when enemy soldiers bunch up.
 * 11) Use breaklights to your advantage. Soldiers will try to move around them in order to avoid the light; and two breaklights can create a bottleneck to funnel enemies exactly where you would like them.
 * 12) If you can't find the door, make one yourself - explosives are your friend!
