ok, I got the game.
It is very very similar to the original, it even has the original music.
The Interface has changed a bit, but mostly the placement of the stuff, but it has all the same buttons.
Some things I still have not figured out, are how to buy soldiers, engineers and scientists, you can't do it thru the buy/sell menu.
In the battefield you no longer have the button that saves enough AP for an aimed, snap and autoshot. But instead it will tall you have many AP your desired movement will cost you.
There is no longer a Whole Map view of the battlefield, I miss this the most.
I also miss that the World Map is no longer of Earth, but some random planet.
