7.62 mm

Un - be - lievable! The game truly was released in Germany and is by now available at Amazon. Actually, only available at Amazon.

Time to give it a shot then.

Oh, @Kizmiaz not to worry. As a native german i can assure that a low score on Gamestar is considered favourable for some games, since this is one of the most mainstream - sucking, brown-nosing and hypeselling gaming magazines available, so unless a game is published by EA or contains "Battlefield xxx" in it's name, it's gotta be crap for the editors.

Nah......I don´t know, it´s even only 51% the magazine gave 7.62 ! They critizised the bad camera and that you have to move it all the time to get a good view in the fights and even then they say it´s difficult to get along in houses on the upper stairs. In addition fights are only a very small part, another big and dull part are the many dialogues and the "job" you got to do: bring thing "a" along to person "b" - and so on......

I will wait for some more reviews to get a more detailed info about the game. TRhe "fanboys" reviews don´t help either

Oh, not to worry. Got it yesterday, played it for two hours. It's got loads of problems... CtDs, loads of bugs, non-existing balancing and so on... in the same vein as BE5 i'd say. I really like the game, but i wouldn't consider myself a fanboy. Won't assign a percentage, since there are some things splendidly done, and some others suck horribly. But nevertheless, DON'T trust Gamestar reviews. My guess is 7.62 will be shredded in 75% of the reviews, some will recognize it's potential. Gamestar is NOT famous for recognizing potential...

And another review from a german online magazine:

It gave 51% ! To be honest, the game isn´t really good. Planed as JA3, I am glad, that strategy first recognized early enough that it was too bad to carry the name JA3 and they revoke the licence. Hope there will be a rellay good JA3 sometimes.
Heard rumors, that in 2010 Akella will bring an official JA3......

For your information, neither Brigade E5 nor 7.62 mm has ever been supposed to be Jagged Alliance 3.
Of course, the developers from Apeiron were inspired by the JA-series, but they have never been part of the JA-franchise.

IMO, BE5's and 7.62's combat and weapon system are in every way superior to the JA-series. A future JA3 would benefit immensely from it.

Then there are many, many other things that the JA-series has done much better than BE5/7.62, but that really goes without saying.
