Request: Allow to see the game table while we are viewing the phase result #1289

Environment

Ver 0.45.3 Windows 7

Description

In each phase, the game shows me to put the end result. That's fine, but it forces to see it, and forces to not see anything else, and that's the problem. Although I can click the name to check the information about each units, but I can't check the battlefield at all before everyone says 'I'm done.' Can't we see the table while we are checking the end result of each phase?

And, if I remember correctly, when checking the phase result while we are on the game table, you have to close the phase result mini window before do anything to the game table. Why we can't check this as well as play the game, just as we are able to see the profiles window while on the table?

I had the exact same idea after playing MegaMek for the first time in a while last weekend. Here was my idea I submitted on the MegaMek forums, and they said to come here:

"Floating Phase Window: It's sometimes difficult to visualize what Mek is shooting at what Mek in the combat results gray screen. Is there an enhancement in the works to float that on top of the hex map and maybe show targeting arrows of who is attacking what on the map if you click on battle results text? 'Cause that'd be awesome. Great game though!"
