On the "Options" menu, pressing the "Go Back" button crashes the game.

Operating Device: Galaxy S4

Operating System: Android 4.3 

Browser & Browser Version: Google Chrome 31

Describe the feature:

The main menu does not fit very well in the screen and the high scroll sensitivity makes the menu very hard to use. You have to be very precise in order to tap on a button.

Title: Assorted Gameplay and AI Bugs

Game Version & Type: CW-T Web Client 0.3.5 - 16-12-14

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows 7

Browser & Browser Version: Google Chrome

Problem Urgency: 7

Describe the problem:

-In the action menu, selection is often misaligned with the mouse.

-CO music sometimes plays during the wrong player's turn, or doesn't play at all.

-Properties can be transferred to the opponent. (Very easy to do this by accident.)

-AI will produce units, but will not move them after doing so.

Additional Comments:

"Recon" is spelled wrong, and APCs are called "Support Tanks." The latter was rather confusing.

Oh goodness, I used the other link instead.  Sorry if that causes problems or clutter or something.  I don't really understand these things!

Anyway:

Title: Game crashes instead of "Trap"

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows

Browser & Browser Version: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Problem Urgency: 7

Describe the problem: On Spann Island, as no CO, I moved a tank onto an enemy infantry that was previously unseen due to fog.  Game crashed as a result of this.

Describe the expected result: The tank should have halted right in front of the infantry.

Title: Sami capture bonus doesn't happen

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows

Browser & Browser Version: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Problem Urgency: 3

Describe the problem: Self-explanatory.

Title: Mountains do not improve vision.

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows

Browser & Browser Version: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Problem Urgency: 3

Describe the problem: Moving an infantry onto a mountain does not improve its vision.

Title: Enemy units can be seen when they move

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows

Browser & Browser Version: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Problem Urgency: 4

Describe the problem: Title: Game crashes instead of "Trap"

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows

Browser & Browser Version: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Problem Urgency: 4

Describe the problem: When the AI moves their (supposedly unseen) units, they can in fact be seen for the duration of their movement.  In addition, there is a bit of an 'after-image' graphical quirk that seems to happen every so often.

Title: Slight musical issue

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows

Browser & Browser Version: Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Problem Urgency: 2

Describe the problem: I've only encountered this once, but I was Sami and ended my turn against AI Max.  The music changed to Max's, but then after Max's turn ended, it continued to be Sami's music until the loop ended.  This one I might be misremembering to some extent, though.  There was definitely some issue with the music not switching properly, though.

Title: Fog of War not so Foggy

Problem Urgency: 8

Describe the problem: Unit animations can be seen during Fog of War, even if the tiles aren't revealed.

Feature Request
Title: UI improvements in game settings menu

Game Version & Type: 0.3.5 

Operating Device: Galaxy S4

Operating System: Android 4.3 

Browser & Browser Version: Google Chrome 31

Feature Urgency: Choose a number 2

Describe the feature: Currently you have to select the map, then click on "Game Configuration" and then on "Start Game". As most of the time I am just using the default settings, I think it would be nice to be able to click on "Start Game" directly after selecting the map.

Operating Device: PC

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit

Browser & Browser Version: Google Chrome

Problem Urgency: 10

Describe the problem:

After loading the game resources and hit "Start Game", a fatal error shows up.

And hit either "Yes" or "No" will cause reloading the game and the same error again.

Describe the expected result:

The error frame should be in a corner so I can see the menu items :D

Additional Comments:

Great project though. Looking forward to hearing more from it.
