You are welcome Herc- and thanks to SJ, oleg, and Capnq for ideas...
Some of your logic is similar to mine.
Capnq, hmmm, maybe I should try to integrate hotkeys. Never used 'em. Neat.
I know that turn length may be a bit frustrating, especially to those just starting out, as there is no obvious "Wizard" for guiding you through a turn.
Any other ideas?
