JTCS v2.0 — Likes and Dislikes

[Kool Kat]

Gents:

Here's my on my initial "likes and "dislikes" of JTCS v2. I am sure there will be more as I play through this version.

Pros:
* Windowed - Can adjust screen size and minimize
* New sound effects - Vehicle movement, direct fire, artillery, etc.
* User interface - Really Smoke, Star shells, and Human Wave functions are on menu!
* RS - Like background song in start menu
* Automatically creates a backup .bte file for PBeM (Nice!)

Cons:
* User interface - Bottom icons too small, use different graphics, and order layout changed
* Exit game and my PC screen colors turn combat green and khaki

My biggest "Con" are the small and cluttered bottom icons. IMHO it would help reduce eye strain and user confusion if only essential (most used) functions are made icons:

Increase the size and keep the following bottom icons:

First 17 icons: Move/Fire Mode - Reachable Hexes)
Highlight Organization
Rotate Map
Jump Map
Next Turn.

Move the other icons (mostly "Highlight *.*) to the pull down menu.

Result will be a larger, easier to see, and less cluttered icon menu interface.

Thankfully, there are pop-up labels when I roll my cursor over the icons or I would not be able to distinguish their function!
