In fairness, BiA does not seem like it requires the same level of finesse in angles and timing as Frozen Synapse. It's a lot like Frozen Synapse, though the controls do not allow for quite so much fine-tuning of your soldiers' actions and timing. BiA plays out in continuous-time, and a tap on the spacebar freezes the action so you can issue orders and plot out what your mercenaries will be doing when the action resumes. The big new idea is Back in Action's "pause-and-go" system. Over the course of the campaign, you hire more mercenaries, capture strategic towns and mines, carry out quests for NPCs, and buy new equipment with the funds you raise. The campaign plays out on a grid map of the who country, and when a clash occurs in one sector, you go to a tactical battle. You hire a team of oddball mercenaries, then begin retaking Arulco piece by piece.
The exiled ruler of Arulco hires your band of mercenaries to liberate his country from Queen Deidranna, his treacherous wife who usurped his throne and inaugurated an era of devastating oppression and exploitation. Jagged Alliance: Back in Action (BiA) uses the same setting and campaign mechanics as JA2.
