Just Out Of Curiosity (Sort of OT)

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

This is just a guess, but, the early wargames when I started were Blue and Grey for ACW games, no brainer, D-Day, Midway, Afrika Korps and Tactics II were blue and red and Battle of the Bulge was a lighter red that sometimes looked pink depending on the lighting. Made it easier to see the numbers. Before the different colors, which I enjoy immensely with all the different nationalities, blue and red are standards in the U.S. Army for friendly and enemy/opposing forces that are still used today. It is evident in PzCs in the jump maps. Things change with the details on the different views. It is eye candy for our benefit. :)
