Current map screen. Kinda want to understand what all the boxes on top are exactly before I start implementing any of them.
This is currently the maximum size map (14x14) that can be displayed before being too big, unless I add scrolling or some other similar feature, or rearrange the display. No pieces, or tiles other than grass, implemented yet.

Game flow will work like this:
first you click on the button for the action you want to perform (move,attack or special) then you click on the target for this action on the map grid, for movement it will be where you want to go, for it attack it will be the enemy you want to attack, and for special it will vary depending on units

special abilities require an energy point to use,
units cannot occupy the same space.

Units:
==============
CHARGER
health 2
energy 2
actions 3

move: 2 squares
attack: range 1, damage 2
special: jump 2 squares (ignores other units and obstacles)
========================
BRUISER
health 5
energy 3
actions 2

move: 2 squares
attack: range 1, damage 3
special: block (reduces all damage by 2, until next turn)
========================
MARKSMAN
health 3
energy 2
actions 2

move: 1 square
attack: range 2-5, damage 2
special: aim: target self (+4 damage to next attack)
========================
BLASTER
health 2
energy 3
actions 2

move: 2 squares
attack: range 1-3, damage 3
special: blast: range 1-3, damage 1 (hits every target in a 3

by 3 square)
=========================
HEALER
health 4
energy 4
actions 2

move: 2 squares
attack: range 1-2, damage 1
special: heal: range 1, (target receives +4 health)
=========================

I made a mockup to help out.
I figured you'd select units by clicking on them, and a drop down menu would appear for Move, Attack, Special, etc.
Also, I didn't know if you were going for Player Turn/Enemy Turn or Inititaves, so you'd probably have something that show's a person's turn or what the current turn order is.

All units also have a subtype, these will be colour oriented usually on the sprites

Subtypes:
give minor bonuses against other subtypes
the subtypes are: TECHNO, ARCANE, HOLY, MUTANT,WARBOUND

TECHNO:
+1 Damage against WARBOUND
-1 Damage against HOLY

ARCANE:
+1 Damage against TECHNO
-1 Damage against WARBOUND

HOLY:
+1 Damage against MUTANT
-1 Damage against ARCANE

MUTANT:
+1 Damage against ARCANE
-1 Damage against TECHNO

WARBOUND:
+1 Damage against HOLY
-1 Damage against MUTANT

upon deep consideration I think Net's layout is more efficient than mine,
it might be a better idea to go with that

that said I've reorganized how I feel the unit stats should be displayed, maybe this will give further insight

Approaching the last mockup's state.
I've been doing more mechanics work lately so there isn't actually much noteworthy to show yet - All the pieces and their specials have been coded in but there's no usable gameplay interface yet. Didn't pretty up the display too much either since it sounds like it's not really decided yet.
If I haven't been clear, the window size is easily changed to whatever you want - I change two numbers in one file and recompile everything and it all (mostly) adjusts and fits fine. I don't really want to go over about 1000x700 though. Resizable windows is possible but does mean more work.

I made some Sprites, from left to right:
Charger, Bruiser, Marksman, Blaster, Healer

these are just the Sprites for Saitnen's soldiers

In-game shot. Move command is implemented, the rest aren't yet. No hilights for anything yet.

I made some buttons also some extras
not entirely sure on the colour

Kusaba does not like jars. Huh.
Half-way playable alpha as a jar:

You need the Java Runtime environment installed to run this - there's a decent chance you have it installed even if you don't know. I was planning on posting a .exe version too (still needs the JRE but will search for it itself) but JSmooth failed me, I'll have to try other things later.

Right-click: Select unit
Left-click: Perform action (also click for buttons/end turn)
Mouse-wheel: Change action

I've been lazy the last few days, only interface improvements, no new features.

I did some rebalancing on the marksmen and blaster
I've also created stats for the leader

and I've cleaned up the sprites a little and added icons for the subtypes

========================
MARKSMAN(special thanks to Seal for his suggestions)
health 3
energy 2
actions 2

move: 1 square
attack: range 2-3, damage 3
special: aim: target self (+2 range to next attack)
========================
BLASTER
health 2
energy 3
actions 1

move: 2 squares
attack: range 1-3, damage 3
special: blast: range 1-3, damage 1 (hits every target in a 3 by 3 square)
=========================

Leaders won't have a subtype but they will be given two traits.
When a Leader is killed the battle is over, and the remaining leader wins

LEADER
health 6 (8) if trait selected
energy 4 (8) if trait selected
actions 3(4) if trait selected

move: 3 squares (4 squares) if trait selected
attack: range 1, damage 3(4) if trait selected
special: shot: range 2-3 damage 2(3) if trait selected

oops forgot to mention order of subtypes presented in the image is:
HOLY, WARBOUND, TECHNO, ARCANE, MUTANT

also here's an image of where I imagine them to show up

Now featuring MORE PLACEHOLDER ART. Also roads are in but the algorithm for placing them might need to be tweaked/changed - it gets a bit silly sometimes.
Other than that, I think I've got everything in the topic made. Some Gal has Actions and Damage traits, Leader 1 has EnergyHealth and SpecialDamage. Huh. Meant to give them Energy and gave them Health instead, only realized now when I went to doublecheck it.
