JA: Back in Action - Preview @ The Armchair Empire

The Armchair Empire has a preview up for this game.   It is based on an alpha build of the game. A quick snip:

As the demo continued, I admired how the developers had gone beyond the tile-based maps of JA2 and were working with more organic structures and landscapes. While JA2 didn’t look bad, and still doesn’t, there were some inherent limitations which occasionally led to some problematic issues relating to line-of-sight and target identification. The new maps will certainly feel less cheesy than their predecessors when it comes to hidden enemies. More than that, however, the maps bring Arulco to life all over again.
