RE: Messing with colors. ...
Last set of adjustments and I am pretty happy, not only with the UnitBox but also with the Unitname that I modified.

Here is an overview for Budapest (all series will be covered).

Thank you very much!

I have completed 48 nations now. I just need to build the folders for each game and add the nations to the and the I can zip them up.

Not all nations are used by PzC (Sweden, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovakia, Norway and Denmark - true countries) yet but I created them.

Thank you Ricky B!

So all the Nation's unit info are done, and since I can't leave well enough alone I started tweaking unit counters and colors and such (I may need to make the bevel just a bit more).

The cool thing so far is that I have make these work with GME and also made them 'bite' size so one can add what they want.

So for GME, etc.

Flat counters get my vote. I've never taken to the new counter style which an be seen in the US units above.
Choice of colour for each nationality needs careful selection as the flat look can be a bit harsh. Feldgrau?

So I have all the Nations done for the Unit Info mod (50 total now, but this includes neutrals like Turkey, Sweden, Switzerland, and other countries like Croatia, Slovakia, Denmark and Norway for example) and that lead me to see if I could mod the unit counters them selves just for fun and my old board war game days as a guide of sorts.

A few screen shots (note that the unit details pictures are not (yet) modified for each info box, just the on map units).

This zoomed out view is from Stalingrad.

This zoomed out view is from Budapest.

Budapest, again and here the Germans are grey, and the SS are a darker grey, the Hungarians are green, the Russian Guards are a deeper red, and the Russian regulars are a more fuller brown.

Another from Budapest, here the Hungarians are facing off against the Romanian 'defectors' and their Russian collages.

Once more in Budapest, here in the north we see SS, a few a Luftwaffe units, and a host of Soviet Guards, in the info panel you can see the SS and Luftwaffe id's (note I have not yet - it would be a large task still - modified the counters in the unit info panel).

Stalingrad, and the Italians in the east.

German and Luftwaffe posed against some Russian Guards.

Oh, this mod also works with the 3D view, but I don't know anyone who would use this view and I never do but its done for completeness.

If no one really cares about that part it would save me time, but my OCD won't let me let it lie. lol
