Duck and Cover

A lot of people on this forum need to get out more, methinks ...

I'm planning on playing Tactics again soon (when I've finished JA2 ... for the fifth time) so I may try it TB to start with. I'm always game for new challenges ...

Mind you, the FO1/2 TB combat engine is a bit limited ... not to say I don't love it, just that I think it's not the main strength of the games. I think that the TB combat of Jagged Alliance 2 is better - more options and freedom. Mind you, JA2 isn't an RPG, although it does have quests and limited ...

I think that CTB is well suited to the overall feel and style of Fallout Tactics, I've completed it twice using nothing but CTB. I started playing the new Awaken mod in CTB. But lo and behold, one or two towns in and it was obvious that this was a Turn-Based animal, just like FO1/2!! A quick tweak o...

Aaaargh! I think I've found a rather nasty bug :cry: Yet more spoilers coming I suspect ... I've given all three engines parts to the mechanic in Silent Trains. I run down towards the carriages and the screen changes to show the opening frame of a movie with what I suspect is a train ... then it loc...

Hey guys, I've posted this question in another thread but I thought I'd put it in here too in case anyone has the answer - otherwise I think I'm gonna have to go from the start again! I've wiped out the BOS for the SOH and wiped out the ghouls on my return to the SOH base. But now I'm stuck, travell...

It looks as though I'm gonna have to reload from a much earlier position and keep Oliver alive then ...

BTW, those are the only two engine parts I have found so far.

Me again :D *** yet more spoilers *** I think I'm stuck! I've taken the SOH missions and wiped out the BOS. When I got back to the SOH base there were a load of hostile ghouls there so I wiped them out too, but not before they killed Oliver. Then I found Necropolis and killed the technologists for t...

Thanks for that!

Thats what I guessed re. BOS and SOH - makes sense!

**spoilers**





Bah, now the Soldiers of Hope want me to twat the Brotherhood, who I haven't even found yet! Are there Brotherhood quests I should be doing first?

I think I need a walkthrough

Likewise, givin' em hell!

Question!

** mini spoiler **







I have received the quest from the boss man in New Chicago to take out the Chans ... but I can't find them! Is a location supposed to appear on the map or do I just need to keep hunting? Or am I being stupid?

And hobogoby is now my favourite word.

I seem to recall that fiddling with the generator beside each forcefield disables it for a little while, allowing you to escape after doing your dirty work. I think you need to use repair or science skills ...

I’ve been playing Awaken for about 3 hours now, and I must say that my first impressions are very good indeed. To start with, I played CTB as this was how I completed FOT. Very quickly I realised that good old fashioned Turn-Based was the way to go – this alone made...

Have you tried walking all the way round the hole? I walked to the far side of the ladder and *bing* appeared downstairs ...

Has anyone got any hints for running Wasteland in Windows 2000? I can install it and it starts to run OK, then after one or two minutes it locks and I have to close it down using Task Manager.
