past caring

I think there's two things you can do; 1. Come with more mercs. 2. Once the fight triggers you only get to deploy your mercs in the church - so basically you are stuck inside with the bad guys are firing in at you and with you only having very limited line of sight at them. There is only one exit and trying to get our will result in you getting hammered. What you needvto do is to create some additional exits before triggering the fight - i.e. use some explosives to blow holes in the walls. Do that and then trigger the fight.

@Melliores and @StoProGratis - thanks both. That's good to know and I'll see what happens. If it catches up with my progress that will be good, but starting a new game isn't a major issue (I'll probably finish this first play through regardless - I've made it this far with no Bobby Ray's so why not? 😁).

How is Bobby Ray's supposed to 'work'? I mean in the sense is it like JA2, with Bobby Ray's inventory improving as you progress through the game? I ask because I just returned to the game yesterday after being on holiday for a fortnight and the selection is woeful - e.g. I'm at 29th October in game and the only ammo worth ordering has been 7.62 WP standard. It's been several days since that order was delivered and stock has neither improved or replenished.... Is it that - despite the fact that t5hough I've actually made significant progress in the game - Bobby Ray's only recognises my 5 days' of game play since the shop went 'live' and that in order for Bobby Ray's inventory to improve along with my progress, I'd actually have to start a new game?
