Description:
Radio check… standby… access!

I don’t know if the "Active Pause!" mod that is now broken allowed simultaneously attacks, my mod allows this.

Instructions:

  • press "pause" key, normally space bar.
  • order to attack
  • to free the cam (rotate, move, zoom) select another merc or your imp character by portrait or press left-click somewhere else
  • select another unit by left-click if not freed the cam by portrait selection – (after ordered throwing grenade you have to select another character by portrait unfortunately by left-click on a unit will not select the other unit)
  • order another attack and so on.
  • If you are ready with your orders, press "pause" key again and all your attacks will happen simultaneously like to see in the image.

Overwatch also works.

With the right timing you can also start bombard with mortars.

An example I tested with bombard with two mortars and simultaneously fire with 3 characters:

  • press "pause"
  • order attacks with two mortars
  • press "pause"
  • when the first mortar fired up its rockets press "pause" again
  • order attacks with guns
  • press "pause" again

–> At the beginning the first rockets hit their targets, then at one moment the other rockets hit their target and the enemies got shot by guns.

Important:

If you want to change an ordered action than order the unit to move while game is still paused than you can give the new attack order.


Hints:

Notice: I started playing with v.1.5.1.

Notice: If the game is now to easy for you there are mods that put more enemies on the map. Or play with smaller squad groups. I will play my next game with only 6er or 4er squads.



Btw. the game allows itself to attack a sector with multiple squads even from different sides at the same time.

ToDo:

If first squad reaches a sector, stay in satelite view and unpause the game and wait till other squad reaches the sector then start fight.

This is a really great feature.



Since X-COM 2 release I wanted a realistic game with simultaneously attacks and now I have it in Jagged Alliance 3.

Jagged Alliance 3 is a fantastic game, for me particularly thanks to nice modding and other great mods by the community.

I like LUA scripting for modding.
