The thing I find irritating about this set of games is the graphics quality. I just killed 98 men in a friendly fire incident [V] I see I really have to double check locations.

Don't blame the graphics, these things happen due to mismousing, overzealous use of the firing units or whatever. I've done it in Bg games and the graphics were fine there.

I'd be happier if the Prussians were a different colour, both in Bg and HPS the things get mistaken for woodland or lakes and get lost. Bright green. I'd settle for pink.

I didn't make it clear. the units where moving over ploughed fields, very hard to recognize units looking at them in 3d that's what I was using and I didn't look in 2d.[8)]

HA! Pink Prussians! Cute.

Actually if you like just alter the base color and save it as a new file. Then swap the files and use the altered ones.

Those Spanish yellow bases are really easy to spot!
