Hi, getting back into this game after a couple of years.

I recall there is a method to change HQ colours but I cant remember how (getting old!)

would be grateful for a quick "how to"

thanks

Hi. Go to any higher HQ unit, select w/left click, go to unit bar and right click on the HQ unit box to go to detailed view. On the right side of the detailed info box toward the bottom find <SET COLOR> and left click. Combine Red Green Blue (most common default setting for colors used for screen displays). Trial and error (unless somebody else knows how to open a color palette). Remember, color selected applies to all subordinate units, so if you are trying to set a unique color to STAVKA or OKH, all units will change to the same color. Same, same with Fronts/Army Groups. Any attached/assigned allied units subordinate will receive color change applied to its higher HQ (Rumanians directly subordinate to German corps in turn one, display violet hue used for German 11th Army).

See tm.asp?m=4425619&mpage=1&key=&#4425619 for RGB color selection chart posted by Red Lancer.

Hey that's really cool! An entire Nazi Army in Pink!!!!!

(Is there a way to add 'little pink triangles' onto the SS units, too?)
[:D]

It seems the the <SET COLOR> button is being cut off b/c of my laptop's display resolution (1366 x 768). Is there a hotkey or alternate way of accessing this functionality?

If I change the color of all my units to Guards Red will it confuse my opponent? It will certainly do my head in...

If you set red color for all your units then Guards will be pink
