WarHunter -> Custom changes to your counter mix (3/19/2014 5:10:21 PM)
If you could change the colors of any counters in MWiF. What colors would you like to see? I'm willing to help you create the look you want.[sm=00000436.gif] Just tell me the colors you want modified. Share some colors choices with everyone. Major and/or minor nations. Thinking of doing an Avalon Hill color mod someday. Kind of a nostalgic color counter look. [8D] Here are some examples I'm working on for a modified counter set to play with.

I like the olive for the US forces but it is a bit hard to read the black lettering.

One of the things I loved about WIF is the bright, colourful, easy-on-the-eye counters, with different (and distinct) colour schemes for each and every nation. Furthermore, the colours chosen by ADG were all "appropriate" for each country. However, with the game now on computer I love that (thanks to people like you) we can experiment with the original colours. The only country that I was unsure about in the original counter mix, was Japan. Who should be Yellow? China or Japan? I would really like to see Japan in some shade of yellow. If Japan were yellow, what about China? Well I think the Soviet Union could be red (a darker red than the Japanese units) and switch China to brown. Might work - what do you think?

Personally, I would't go this way (being colorblind). Khaki in Flames is one thing, but this is "a bridge too far" for me...

Centuur, If you ever want to change that one color that is bugging you. I'm here for ya big guy. Until then, i busy myself with Pink Panzers like the old Avalon Hill days and wonder how i can get some camo colors into the mix.

quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 See post 4 Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes the trees are lost in the forest. China, Brown (Green)could be a good color also. Don't like the Chi Com are hard coded with 2 units back ground of light blue. USSR, Red Japan, Yellow I'll try my hand with a new install and these as a base with CW Khaki. So what colors do you think Italy could be?

So what colors do you think Italy could be? warspite1 I like Italy as is. However, if there was to be a change, the obvious colour choice would be the Azurri. Trouble is of course that that would mean clashing with the French (although probably not much more so than with the current CW Blue). What colour could France be if that was chosen?

WarHunter -> RE: Custom changes to your counter mix (3/22/2014 6:41:33 PM)
Going with the colors discussed so far. This is what i've come up with. CW Khaki USSR Red Japan Yellow China Brown Italy Blue France Green USA Olive Drab Germany Grey or Pink [:D]

Ichirou989 -> RE: Custom changes to your counter mix (3/23/2014 3:14:32 AM)
Oh yeah! Olive drab for the American forces. I remember I fiddled with this a bit, but I used a more green olive shade. I also seem to think of either yellow or red for the Japanese. Probably because of the board games I've played that used those colors for them. [image]local://upfiles/16937/EB1788E7AF2647879CFA345BA98C4EA0.jpg[/image]

paulderynck -> RE: Custom changes to your counter mix (3/23/2014 4:21:30 AM)
The game does color changes when ships are captured. Hazy recall that it may do the Territorials too, when they change sides. Has anyone checked out those situations with the new palette files?

Lend-lease mixing of colours went fine as well.

[sm=fighting0056.gif] [;)] I am so sorry, Warspite1. But did you not start with mentioning trousers? The fancy Italian stripe could have easily been on their skirts? Your brethren (ok now?) were captured in a surprise invasion of Port Said, and supported two Regia Marina transporters in capturing many an atol/island around the Arabian sea in that particular game. They saw more action than they normally do in my games [8D]

Now i know what "Fighting Trousers" are. [sm=happy0065.gif] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iRTB-FTMdk Currently been working on the renaming air units. Its still a work in progress. Sneak peek.
