Just Out Of Curiosity (Sort of OT)

Lucky for us these things are easily modded (well, everything but the Panzer Battles series) with just a little work.

I also remember GDW using field gray for the Germans in DNO and other Europa series games. Most everyone else (like SPI) was using gray. But I do recall "pink" Germans in some really old titles like Avalon Hill's Bulge or D-Day.

I believe SPI might have been the originator of orange Italians also.

When I mod these games for my own use, the Germans are field gray, and the Italians are anything but orange (I usually reserve that for the Dutch).

Blue or blue-gray Germans appear to be a sort of JTS tradition now. I don't think they've ever been in another color, at least for PzC, MC, or WW 1 but I could be wrong.
