1) The red "You can still fire with this unit" cross hairs should always be visible if a unit hasn't fired this turn. Currently if you move they dissapear if you're not ajacent to a valid target at the end of your move. If you walk away from your computer in the middle of a turn you aren't necessarily going to remember which units have fired versus which have only moved and just aren't *currently* next to a valid target.

This is annoying for 2 reasons - first you may want to deliberatly cause an enemy unit to retreat towards a unit already moved but not fired, and second you may "put down" a recon unit midway through it's move to potentially later move it again and pick off a weakened unit.

2) I will add to the voices requesting the ability to add elite AND regular reinforments in +1 increments, even if just via a hot key or a global option. When you're reinforcing a 8/10 unit it doesn't matter so much but adding 8 pts to 2/10 unit it would be nice to have the option to add 4/4 or 5/3 instead of all or nothing.

I understand that in certain cases seeing available fire action would be useful, but on the other hand, this means that at the end of every turn you would still see most of your units still showing fire action, and you would never be able to detect units which still have a usable fire action by just looking at the map. It is a debatable topic, but back when it was implemented I decided that the benefit of seeing only usable actions outweights the problems.
