Japan '45

Update of my unitboxes for version 1.01 of Japan '45, added to the downloads. Still not sure if these add any value.


 - A problem with the Marine unitbox in my previous version has been corrected.
 - The American 'flag' symbol I used previously has been altered to work with the new Naval artwork.
 - A unitbox for the French has been added.


While I am at it, there are a couple of other things I have been thinking about...

Shading

I find the shading on the 2D Magnified View and 2D Zoom-Out View is too dark for me. This may just be something to do with my display settings but I have been trying some different options with the shading artwork, to try to increase its transparency. The issue is primarily to do with using the Reachable Hexes option when moving units. I want to be able to see where I can move but also what is in hexes adjacent to the movement path.







It is not ideal but it is the best I have been able to come up with. Any thoughts?

WW1 Artwork

I have a problem with the artwork for the WW1 games which is almost certainly unique to me. The graphics using similar faces for soldiers of all nationalities is fine, but unfortunately the most commonly used face closely resembles someone that I know! Sounds trivial but trust me, this is unbelievably distracting. So I have being thinking of doing a Mod. So far I have only done the British in France '14. I doubt I can get unit insignia for other nationalities but hopefully leader photos should generally be available. Here is a sample;


 
Since this Mod would require changing all the unit art, it is a big job and probably not worth the effort. But while I am thinking about how to proceed, if anyone has any comments/suggested improvements I would be interested in hearing them.
