This I know very it well. You are only too few for too many things to do when it
comes to programing/tweaking/expanding Vassal. It's just a matter of having at
least an echo from somebody out there telling me if I'm the only one with this
problem or not.

I'm sorry you found this 3rd message rude (1st one was 2 month ago). That was
not the intention.

I logged into Sourceforge and did just that in the mean time.

It's quite a while since I actually did some programing but if I can lay my
hands on the source code handling rotating units I'll do just that:
investigate myself.
For some games you're right that 1 pixel more or less won't make any difference.
I tried to resize those counters from 51 to 50 or 52 and it's not that nice.
With a symbol centered on the unit what I get is that now the unit rotates
perfectly but the symbol on it now has a 1 pixel offset. I won't bother you
anylonger with more details here about this problem.
I'll do just what Rodney suggested: wait and see. But I won't take the 'gamble'
it gets the way I want in 2.9 That's why in the meantime I'll stop working on
the module I have in mind and try to find what's 'wrong' with the rotating
procedure. Either 2.9 corrects this or I've done all I can with my meager
programing knowledge to point out the 'wrong' code part needing some fixing.
When 2.9 comes out I'll decide wether I have to draw all units all over again.
Yours,
"Rude" David
