Grab it from OS4Depot and give it a try.

Major Changes:
- GUI now defaults to moving one unit at a time
- GUI introduced a new "move wheel" which is used to change the size of a move
- Fixed several GUI rendering glitches
- Fixed several bridged move rule violations
- Changed to use Deja Vu typefaces
- Changed to GUI to display overflow units differently
- Removed algorithmic placement of units on gamespaces
- Exported several data sets from internal to XML-based files
- Changed GUI prefs file from IFF to XML
- Replaced most bitmapped graphics with new graphics by Kenneth Lester

Wow! I've downloaded it and played a game against myself (I lost). The unit graphics are astonishing! The combination of Lester's graphics skills and ssolie's l33t coding skills is a match made in heaven.
Being a casual player in my college years (A&A, Europe at War and World at War) I'm looking forward to seeing AI implemented, so I can play a real game. This game is going to be much better than that abysmal pc version (forgot who made it).

Great work!

Thanks! Nice to find another fan around.

Besides an AI implementation I'm also moving towards XML-based configuration files. In the near future this will enable me to create more games like A&A Revised, Europe, Pacific, etc. much more easily.

I'm pretty sure Ken will be up to the challenge in regards to all the graphics that will require.
