After a small hiatus the Jagged Alliance series is back with the aptly named Jagged Alliance: Back In Action. These new screenshots show off the Plan & Go system where you can break down the real time game and pause the action when you need to deliver commands and actions needed to win the battle. While in real time you can clearly see where you orders are taking your merc’s so that you can if you need pause again to adapt on the fly. You can also now link commands so that if someone gets to their way point sooner they will wait to complete their next action until another even is trigger like say lining up a snipers to take out a guard only after his buddy reaches the edge of the retaining wall. Check out the screenshots and press release below and get just as excited as we are to see Jagged Alliance: Back In Action release Q1 2012.
