So we cant do more than hoping & praying that Jagged Alliance 3 will be a major success, i mean the alpha footages seems not bad at all already, with lil more adjustments i can be seriously something great without a joke.

While I agree with this sentiment, I think long-time and die-hard fans of Jagged Alliance 2 will never be pleased with what is released.  There have been too many empty and broken promises in the past.  To me, this effort seems to be another repeat.  I hope I am wrong, but the very long period of silence prior to finally releasing a dev diary entry cast a long shadow.  Old fans who were interested moved on and younger gamers have no inherent interest in a remake of an ancient game.

That's a bleak assessment.  I'll retreat back to my dark corner.

G**gle's search algorithm obviously got it wrong since under Platform it clearly states "Microsoft Windows" and nothing else.

1.13 doesn't change anything from standard JA2. Any and ALL complexities they added or built on are completely and absolutely optional!

1.13 is more like an unofficial patch. The simple matter of being able to play JA2 but with a slightly higher resolution to scale with modern displays, in itself makes 1.13 a must.

To me detrimental and game breaking features of 1.13 include:

1) AP points and costs - which alters the flow of battles from the original

2) Inventory - making it overly complicated

3) Militia - also overly complex

The last build of 1.13 I played (years ago), these weren't optional so I gave up on it for good.  I now play Jagged Alliance 2 Stracciatella or the original JA on Steam for my fix.
