THX Josh. Version EF/WF 1.2 is ready for Download. (working on EF Hungary, Romania, on the second version Italy)

I have the originals of EF WF Talonsoft.
Now I have decided to buy JTCS and am disappointed.
The new units are very ugly.

I'll think about whether I uninstall JTCS again, any new additional units complete swap or play the original Talonsoft EF/WF.

Hours later .......
I have tested for me again JTCS. The default installation is the best for me.
My units update for original EF / WF match.
The ugly units from 1.04 are not included, and I have no work to change it. (only a few)

ORIGINAL: JMass

A big improvement could be to add the support for png files to have smaller files with alpha level (so nicer shadows, effects etc.).

I fully agree with JMass, the principal and most urgent update to this game is to integrate png support, for the terrain and for the units ....

If it is possible to use png files, I could do all the required units for a modern period mod, as in these examples for panzer corps:

PNG file functionality would be great to see. The original graphics are still really great looking, but the ability to add the aforementioned effects would be great. If the resolutions could be upped, that would also be great.
