RE: What part about JTCS do you like best
Ah.. I do remember the grand campaign game of Squad leader I had set up using all the maps from the SL game and 3 add ons on my father's dining room table for 6 weeks back when I was on summer vacation from school, and using every single unit counter in the game. Reinforcements came in on map edges determined by dice rolls, and consisted of using the deck of cards and the chart in the SL rule book, & if you didn't have any dead units to cover the reups, you lost em... you got so many cards from the deck based on objectives held, It was very well thought out, but it got nasty when your reups appeared smack in the middle of an armored column moving up to engage and you made a dash to try and get to friendly lines before our supply rules limited your actions and cost you heavily in attrition losses.
It was rough for the Germans early on, all that allied armor was simply overwhelming, but once they got into the PAK and ENG defense belt it was very messy for them. Game got called on account of sheer casualties and well we just got tired of it and went on to play some Gettysburg and Bismarck instead.
I have yet to find someone in my area who plays SL in 20+ years :(
As for JTCS, I love it all, Even if it isn't perfect :)
