I agree with you, up to the point of managing the Japanese economy. That is a total dog's breakfast.

Well, I don't, but I'd like to. In particular, I'd like to get full value from my purchase.

You cannot modify GUI engine, that’s true, but it’s skinnable, it’s absolutely skinnable! There are few other wargames out there where you can so easily change the whole graphic set. I’ve been working on the GUI skin for Witp a couple of years ago, when AE is out, I will blow the dust off that project and give it some good polish. Of course it won't change the way UI works in this game, but it can breathe a bit of a fresh air. GUI allows to use 14x14pxl square-shaped buttons, they are large enough, bigger buttons would look bizarre I guess cause there are so many of them.

Here are some screenshots. Keep in mind that it’s not a finished product yet…

Status: offline 		Folks need to remember that AE is not WitP2. It is the "life extension program" for WitP1, and from what we've seen so far it's going to be a remarkable achievement. In some ways AE is kind of like the B-52. It flat out doesn't seem to belong in this era when you park one next to it's modern brethren, but under the hood she's a whole new bird. Still, no matter what they do, it all has to hang on that ancient airframe. She'll never do Mach-anything, but she's a quantum leap from her Rev-0 origin.

I would have agreed with you more last year about this time or slightly earlier. However, there is a nice utility availalble called Tracker that makes running the Japanese economy a lot easier. I'm now in my third game as Japan. I just took over the third one from a friend, so some of the stuff is new, but I'm learnimg and having fun.

Won’t be a problem there Sharky… if I see one of your transport TF that looks lost, I’ll just allow it to sail past unmolested (yeah right).
