And don't forget Options > Highlight Colors. That was implemented specifically to address the concerns of color blind players.

One thing I think is missing is related to the LOS button. With it on, I can only gauge the LOS of a hex if my own units are present. I'm like 99% certain you could click on any hex in JTCS and be able to see what the LOS from that location would be.
Not possible in this game...

That's a (new) feature, not a bug, if you have selected the Extreme Fog-of-War optional rule.

Think about it. Why should you be able to determine LOS with any exactitude unless you have a unit occupying the hex? Even far into the rear with your units nowhere close nearby? No, without units there to actually see for themselves, in real life you would have to study the map, and more or less guesstimate how the lay of the land reveals LOS.

If you don't like the effect, don't select Extreme Fog-of-War. (Even if there is nothing really extreme about it. It just models plausibility.)

Crossroads, how did you get the different colour groupings at the bottom of the screen?

Options - Toolbar - Colour (make sure it is checked)
