Found how to change colour for HQs

The team behind the award-winning game Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive early days of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris is the first in an innovative series of operational World War II wargames that also include a strategic element. The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris simulates Germany’s military successes in Poland and France in 1939 and 1940 (including also a hypothetical “Sea Lion” invasion of Great Britain).

Found how to change colour for HQs

Dont know if this has been mentioned before but I just found out that you can change the colour for the HQs.
In the Unit Base Info window right click on the HQ hold it and click left. That way you can change the colour for each HQ to your liking. That makes it much easier for me to identify structures

I found out in the GUI thread thanks to Doug.

All it changes is the left side of the unit square, on the map and in the info box. You have to pick a bright color to be able to see it. I wish it was a bit more obvious but I asked for the addition of hex highlighting to further ID where an HQ's units are located (buried in a stack) on the map.

I select a HQ unit; in the icon at the left side of the Info Box (lower left side of screen below command car icon) left click the HQ icon and you'll get a color dialog box. Pick a bright color because it appears the background of the unit box affects the color you pick. (i.e., if you pick yellow its not really yellow but a grayed tone of yellow)

hope that helps
