I want to manage my colors! It would help these old eyes with things like differentiating between say Army Group A and B. Or, if you have two armies with similar colors along side one another, you could change the color of one.

I thought this was going to be available at some point.

I remember this being discussed prior to release. Advanded Tactics Gold has something similar, any HQ (and its subordinate units) can have any color you want... click on the colored bar in the HQ counter, a popup appears, click on the color you like (I prefer bright colors for Army groups I use the most) and that HQ and all of its units get that same bright (red/yellow/ whatever) color. Pretty handy if you ask me. I really like the standard colors of WitE though, still as an option it would be a nice idea.

Yep, there were many, many posts back on this subject before release.

The summary of those posts is that there were about a gazillion changes that people wanted that were all of higher priority/interst at that time. I serious doubt that it has gotten any better since then. It's all a matter of priorities. And yes, if they had coded it differently five years ago it would be easy to do today but they didn't; that was discussed at length as well.
