Laptop recommendation

I finished the game recently since buying it on release on my PC. I'm looking for a laptop that can play JA2 and 3. Any recommendations for a cheap laptop?

Kill an enemy by shooting through an obstacle

Hello, I’m trying to pop the achievement “Breaking the Wall”. Conditions are as in the title.

I’ve tried various ways:

Killing an enemy by shooting enemy hiding behind a wooden fence
Killing an enemy by shooting through a wire fence, a wire fence with tarpaulin
Killing an enemy by shooting him while he’s under cover behind some jars (jars break and he’s killed)

If anyone has any tips on how and where to get this achievement, I would highly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Edit - I finally managed to get the achievement. It is indeed very finicky. I even tried shooting enemies through an upstairs balustrade but no luck. For anyone else having trouble with this simple achievement as I did - I reloaded an early game save in Ernie Village and lured enemies to the first house on the left while I crept around hidden outside. When the enemies were inside the house, I crept to the rear and shot through a window and killed an enemy and that was it.

I finished JA3 last week and now my life has a big void (please help me fill it)

With my second run on JA3 (the first one was a couple of years ago), I tried to make the difficulty as hard as possible and mastering the challenge by being very detail oriented with how i play the game. I didnt had so much fun with a video since a long time, especially with the vanilla redux mod. Now that I finished it last week I was trying to get something similar and thought I could try the same with wasteland 3. That was the point where I realized how outstanding JA3 is in my opinion and how unfun it felt for me to do the same thing in Wasteland. So for you JA3 nerds out there:

What wouId you recommend to do with the situation?

was wondering if the modding scene had alternative scenarios? I didnt see a lot of people talk about it.

JA2 is probably not for me. Maybe its a little bit too old, maybe I am little bit of a bitch.

Jagged Alliance meets Mount & Blade battlefield sizes (in Sci-Fi)

Hi everyone, with the mods permission I would like to share my own turn-based strategy game I am working on called Contract Corps: Lead your Aces.

It's heavily inspired by squad games like Jagged Alliance and others like XCOM/Battletech/Battle Brothers, but with the idea of putting your squad within much larger 200v200 conflicts. To avoid long turn times watching the AI I split the game mechanics:

Your units: during your player phase you move/use abilities/attack with your elite units (called Aces) sequentially, so pretty standard
The wider army: the remaining AI units operate on a WeGo model. This means that they all plan their turn independently, but the execution and visualization of their actions happen in parallel. You are able to influence your allied units (your Corps) indirectly (e.g. by marking an enemy hero as a priority target), but they act on their own.

It's still early days, but the Steam page with the first Devlogs is up, and there I go into more details about the Design Philosophy in general, design challenges such as visualizing important events in a 200v200 or finding the right "level of control" for the AI units, and so on.

JA players are pretty much the core audience for the game, so if this sounds up your alley check out Contract Corps: Lead your Aces on Steam and wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4813610?utm_source=reddit .

Final note: I am aiming to have a first Closed Playtest towards the end of September and would love feedback from everyone in here to shape the game (again, core audience :-) , so will make another post about that nearer the time.

More than happy to answer any questions or thoughts you might have, I will be hanging around in the comments :-)
