All the colors except for gold were from a chunk of Roquefort Cheese. [:D]

Better looking french Div.

USSR

Hmm that strong blue for Italy it honestly reminds me of the blue from the French flag and would suit them more. You even have red accents in the Italian NATO symbols. Just seems that is a much better French scheme

For Italy (I am of Italian heritage) I just never thought of blue being an Italian color. Maybe a cream color with green NATO symbol?

As for the soviets my eyes are tired. What color is that?

Not an Italian colour? What about the Azurri?

Switching France and Italy would work better? I can come up with something along those lines.

Italy and France have never had solid color choices for me. Purple was my 1st choice for Italy. But after playing with it for a couple weeks decided to shelf it. I liked the idea of France using Roquefort cheese and think it came out ok.

The USSR is mud. (brown)

Looking up the word Azzurri led me to Azure, which is more of a sky blue. But then Italy has adopted that color for its soccer team since 1910. "The Blues", seem to have quite a following. [:)]

Changed up the Italians and French. Also added a screen of Germany.
I'll play with these colors for a week or so and give time for more suggestions before any changes to the aircraft and ships.

Commence firing! [:D]

I actually like the Roquefort colour for the French - and the other new "soft cheese" colour for the italians.
The mud for the Ruski's is a bit too much towards the Olive drab of the yankees, I'm afraid. How about the colour of the Norwegian peanut cheese for them? You could than call this chapter " the cheeses".[;)]

Really like those choices

Could you show Germany next to USA? How would it look during a battle of the bulge?

Edit: on further review either of your French schemes would work IMO. The both have their good points. REALLY like the Italian cream choice

Do you just use a simple ms paint application to do the planes and ships?

I'll call the next set, 4 cheese major powers.

The USSR has room to lighten up. I'll get them and the the Germans side by side to get some feed back on how they look.

The Roquefort French and Creamy Italian might have to be looked at as a combination. I thought they might be too similar. But really they are not. Thanks for the cheese. [:'(]

Thanks for the suggestion of colors for Italy. Putting Italy and French Roquefort should be looked at also. To see how they pair up.

Thats another combo i'll put side by side. German and USA.

I use Paint.net and ms paint. They both work for me.

One thing learned. Never try and change a color on page 22 bitmap. Cut it out first. Then change the color and do details. Paste it back. Otherwise you can get all the shades of one color to change. Even if you meant to only change 1 counter.

I would like it if the KiF set will stay apart from the minors. I can't use the Dutch minors the way they are now. Portugal has the same color as the Dutch for me now. It's what has to be expected, since the colors used are in the ranges which are dangerous for some of the colorblind.

Centuur, you are using the classic MWif, not Kif?

If that is true.
Which Minors would you like to have? Its not so hard for me to customize a set just for you.

To be honest, the guys who decided on which color to be used for which minor country really did a great job. There are only a very few counters which I have problems with, if I compare them with other countries. They made the colours with the colorblind in their minds. And I did try using KiF for a very short time, but decided I like the blue better. I started to "forget" units in clear hexes.
After that, I decided to go back to the blue of the CW. I think that is the best thing anyone being colorblind should do, I'm afraid...
But I like the khaki. Perhaps because it is also been made by ADG for the boardgame...

Give me a few days and i'll have a set with Spain, Portugal and Netherlands mated with the original MWiF colors. [;)]
Colors choices were Lex for Dutch, Warspite1 for Portugal and Victor for Spain. [&o]

I was just the hand puppet with time. [:D]

[WarHunter]

Here is the latest cheese combo being looked at.
Roquefort French and Creamy Italian.
Comments welcome.

[WarHunter]

To round out the last 2 cheeses.
Germany and USSR with the USA added for comparison.

Comments welcome.

I really like them!
However, any reason we have to keep the SS black? Why not have them the German color and maybe a small SS rune in the symbol for the unit?

Impressive all around

Anyway you could send the color codes you are using for this. Want to see how it looks in game in a map
