Similar Brigade colours

Maybe its my eyesight or the screen but on the Bull Run scenario there doesn't seem any difference in the colours of Union brigades headed by Franklin and Wilcox.

If you look closely the color inside the pink is a little soft on Franklin's Bde, but you are right they are not recognizable at first glance.

I have the same issue with Wilcox's brigade and Jenkins's brigade in the Williamsburg scenario. Very difficult to distinguish between brigade colors.

One can mod the colors by going to the scenario folder and finding the OrdersOfBattle.txt file.

First make a backup of that file.

The layout of that file is shown at the top of the file. Change the red green and blue color codes for the brigades to your liking.
