Recoloring Counters and “Old Color”

Post by Wannabe »

Rookie question- I want to recolor formations so I can more easily tell them apart. But to do so, it looks like I have to first choose the “old” (current?) color, then choose the new one. Is there a reliable way to tell which is the “old color”? I can narrow it down to a few but sometimes I guess wrong. Is there a trick?

In case you missed it; https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 6&t=318021

Do you mean this:

Some of it is a best guess and try again when it comes to close colors like ID5 versus ID68. I found one case where a scenario designer forgot they were using ID70 and made one unit ID10 - those pop up when you see the results.
If you're STILL making Panzer IIs after seeing your first T-34... you're probably going to lose.
