[quote who="Rudy_102" reply="5" id="3427899"]I don't remember sorry, but factors of "morale", "organization", or "effectiveness" could be brought into this game too. Damaged ship could be ordered to disengage, maybe for repairs, maybe for emergency repairs, or to evacuate crew (experienced crew should be more important than ship they are serving on). Ship with low crew's morale can stop responding on your orders until it's commander will be able to restore order. IMHO that shouldn

Both of them had problems playing on my previous rig. When I got new one - guess what, they were working flawlessly. Alas, didn't worked with games. Still hate them for that. Well

Questions about sex! When i was only about 5 or 6 years old i asked my mom quite innocently and openly "why does your dick grow?" because, obviously i wanted to know about this occasional strange occurrence with my body. My moms reaction was to laugh and not answer the question,,, somehow i managed to pick up on the idea that this was a very embarrassing thing, and it affected me for many years, i grew up through my teenage years as well being horribly embarrassed by my
When i was a kid 30/35 years ago, if i got bitten by a dog it was me who learn the lesson, not the dog! But these days no one has to be responsible for their own actions, always there is something else (or a dog) to blame. And when people are horribly attacked by a dog, i still don't blame the dog, i blame the owner .... and whenever i see a dog running on the loose (not feral) i think to myself "somewhere there is a dog owner who is a dickhead".
[quote who="Rudy_102" reply="3" id="3427635"] About multitple opponents. If memory serves, Jagged Alliance 2 allowed multiple sides battles with possibilities of interrupts. There even were four siders (Deidrana forces, Militia, local fauna and our mercenaries). I exclude civilians and alike, they rarely participated in combats, and even if they did, generally in small numbers. So in theory there could be possibility of "interrupts" should someone left "action points" during
