Hi all.

One thing I had wanted to do with the "Indian uprising" event in Global Glory was to have India become a neutral (biased Axis to give resources to Japan) instead of surrendering regions to Japan. This strikes me as more historically likely.

The recent talk about minor-nation unit capability penalties and displaying national flag icons prompted me to think about this again. I think it is nice if Indian units are differentiated and are assigned the minor penalty. And by differentiating, the units can be removed when the uprising occurs.

Question: what flag should be used for India? I wanted to avoid any British imperial flag, since this is also supposed to represent India as an independent entity.

Here's an example of the kind of British imperial flag I was trying to avoid:

Here's what I ended up using, the flag adopted in 1947 (kind of ahistorical for 1940 but ...):

See the image (note: while I was at it, I changed the production screen code to show national flags sorted by national Factory Multiplier - more intuitive than the current arbitrary order - kind of neat in that USA starts off to the right [not very significant] then moves to the left).

Looks great to me! Certainly is as plausible as any other option.....

I like it too, I'd say that this flag could have been adapted in 1940 instead of 1947 already.
