Unit Counters MOD

[Stoat]

First post - hi all! [:)] A humble offering - a unit counters mod. I do feel they would benefit from a colour gradient as per the production images, but this is beyond me.

The attachment is a 466k zip file containing 7 .tga images (the unit counters), 2 screenshots & a readme. Readme pasted below:

III) Colours:

No. Grouping R G B Colour Name Notes

1) German 115 134 120 Xanadu Lighter shade of Feldgrau so black writing more readable
2) SS Elite 32 32 32 'Matte Black' (custom) Used an off-black as found it easier on the eyes
3) SS Other 32 32 32 'Matte Black' (custom) Same colour as for SS Elite - reject the need for a distinction
4) Luftwaffe 113 166 210 Iceberg Air-forcey shade but not too grey, sufficiently different from Xanadu
5) Italian 172 225 175 Celadon Ever since Third Reich, have associated a light, pale green with Italian forces
Unhappy, however, that it clashes with the light green of the 8th Italian Army
6) Slovak 189 183 107 Dark Khaki Free spot in spectrum of camo colours, similar to original Slovak colour in GGWitE
7) Rumanian 172 153 122 'Rumanian drab' (custom) Average RGB of Rumanian WW2 uniform pictures
8) Hungarian 0 165 80 Pigment Green Lighter shade of Hungarian flag green (for readability)
9) Finnish 0 101 189 Pantone 300 Lighter than Finnish flag blue for readability
10) Soviet 147 140 17 'Soviet Drab' (custom) Average RGB of various shades of Soviet uniforms, tweaked to taste
11) Soviet Guards 205 33 3 'Guards Red' (custom) Warmer than Soviet flag red - more like arterial blood

Thank you.  Always nice to have new options.  There are so many Soviet Units.   Do you think the Soviets should be a little less 'glaring' color ; perhaps a little more brownish, darker, or 'dirty' looking?  or flat instead of glossy....Maybe it is my eyes.

Now that you mention it, I do think the Soviet units should be more brown.
