JA2 is a great game, with plenty of RPG/strategic features that its successor/add-on completely lacked. There was only one thing I preferred in the original JA that was dropped from the sequel: the tendency of mercs to display personal idiosyncracies that could be detrimental or positive. In JA, for example, there was one merc, a sharpshooter, who, if he missed a target, simply wouldn't move despite any of your orders, but insisted on continuing to shoot until he scored a hit. I really liked that. By contrast, JA2's mercs, though fun, are really just a series of stats covered by different graphics and voiceovers.
