combat display (version after 1.030)

Any comments on the combat display? Put them here ...

Since nationality will now be important to combat results, Lucky1 suggested adding national flags to the combat screen. I plan to do so, centered a little below and to the right of the Player icon. The two icons (Player and Nation) will overlap somewhat. Not sure which should be on top. Any feedback is welcome.

I might be able to get a sample screen shot later tonight.

Awesome - it gives the whole game a nicer feel to have individual nationalities. Will the minor nation penalty bullets be displayed here much like the vet/elite stars next to the units?

What do you think about moving the flag to overlay part of the token (e.g., bottom right quadrant)? It might save some space. Purely a cosmetic issue, though....

Actually ... don't the flags sort of make the tokens unnecessary/obsolete?

I tried that first ... a grey German flag overlapping a grey German token doesn't look good. They just bleed together.

I'm open to suggestions, but personally I'd like to see the Player tokens. Faster to identify, instead of trying to figure out every flag's association to Player. I don't actually know all these flags ... knowing which Player would help me figure out the Nation.

Good point.
