Rather than an option to turn off color, what about an option to choose the color of the unit (might already be the case) otherwise I might disband the 4th panzer by reflex.

Status: offline 		I really pressed to get pink out, which it was, its lavander now. What were really looking for is to have contrast between armys as they can move with the years, and be able to to see the units clearly on level 4. At first I didn't like the pastel colors, however if it allows me to see the battlefield and make decisions quicker, I'm fine with it...I make decisions on level 4, and move/attack on level 2.

In Advanced Tactics you can easily change the colours by clicking on a HQ unit, a popup menu appears and from there you can define the colour you want. You can even add more colours than the predefined ones.
Personally I like the colours you have chosen right now.

I'm glad you like the colors I chose , because unfortunately in WitE there's not freedom to choose colors

Status: offline 		The red lines are in the process of change to yellow. I am our own main critic, hate and love to say it. Ask Ester she will tell you...As far as colors, I press the issue to see the unit types at level 4, and have contrast between armys/fronts. I'm 51 now and my eyes arn't what they used to be...Believe me this game becomes intense, the colors after you get used to them won't matter much...

Now it is an ultimatum :
Put an option to change the color or I don't buy this game!

Estheatics is paramount to give a feeling and playing thinking about those lines every time I see the pink panzer army will make me think they are all painted in pink with the crew wearing pink robes. I will do nightmares.

?? What's wrong with Pink Panthers?




Well enough of that.

My experience with AT is that I tend to choose brighter colours for the HQ's and units I use the most. Bright red and yellow are much easier to the eye then say green or dark green.

So we will have an Inspector Cluzot HQ specialized in tracking the Pink Panthers preventing them to be hidden??

Seriouslyn color is a matter of taste.

In my opinion you can do only one thing: think pink!

Status: offline 		The colours are good and easy on the eye, some of Gary's other recent games have been dark, with little contrast. I like the lighter WitE Map and the basic unit colours are : German grey, SS black and Russian brown, which are standard. The colour inserts look 'right', nice colour mix and good contrast. We will be looking at this scene for hours and hours, in the near future, and I vote for easy on the eyes.

Status: offline 		I am so looking forward to this game. I have been playing war games (board) for about 30+ years and PC war games for about 20. I fell in love with WIR way back when and also SP.

The only beef I have with the counters is that the font is very hard to read (from the screen shots) will or can it be bold or increased just a bit?

8=8 is harder to read then 8=8 at least in my opinion.
