I think the new version looks good. Unit icons being next to the Minimap is a proper workflow update. No more do I have to scroll from one corner to the other, to give orders on the minimap. Super nice.
As a player who doesn't use tactical map and do everything on the minimap, I would've loved to have the unit cards down bottom next to the minimap. Its a drag to go from one corner to the other.
Edit: unit icons should be flipped like mentioned above.
