Standardized Naval Unit Color Scheme
White – Transports, Attack Transports
Red (2) – Torpedo Boat Destroyers, Coastal Submarines
Orange (3) – Submarines
Yellow (4) – Destroyers, Adv. Submarines
Green (5) – Light Cruiser
Blue (6) – Coastal Defense Ship, Heavy Cruiser
Indigo (7) – Battlecruiser
Violet (8) – Battleship, Fast Battleship [Fluorescent Purple to distinguish from normal BB’s]
Black (10) – Heavy Battleship
@hbg-gw-enthusiast I kinda do the opposite with Red as Heavy Battleships (and other advanced tech), after all the red ones go faster.
I would avoid using any colour which doesn’t sit with a nation’s colour scheme such as black.
So I use
White – Transports,
Grey – Torpedo Boat Destroyers, Coastal Submarines, Coastal Def Ships
Brown – Submarines
Purple – Destroyers
Dark Blue – Light Cruiser
Light Blue – Heavy Cruiser
Green – Battlecruiser
Yellow – Battleship
Orange - Fast Battleship
Red – Heavy Battleship, Adv. Submarines
For Carriers
Bronze - Escort
Silver - Fleet
Yellow Gold - Heavy
@insanehoshi I propose counters because G36 has WAY TOO MANY UNIT TYPES. People spend all their time looking at charts to look up info. COUNTERS solve this easily with large 1 inch or .75 inch square counters. Of course nobody has made any to this point.
@insanehoshi I really like your Gold, Silver, Bronze color scheme for CV’s.
@imperious-leader You are free to do so how you wish, but when you’re rolling on a battle board that has all the info you want really, it’s not necessary I find. Furthermore I don’t want to toot my own horn, but ive only ever played this game 2.5 times and I know pretty much every unit’s attack and defence.
@hbg-gw-enthusiast Credit where credit is due, stole that from Panzer King.
@insanehoshi Is there anyone in the world who has put more thought into how to organize and add clarity to Global War 36?!? Man, that table of his is a thing of beauty!!! If I win the lottery, I’m gonna somehow top it, just to give myself an impossible dream…
@insanehoshi Yea i memorized 85 useless different unit types, but i was talking about new players, and also seeing the values helps calculate combat more quickly. With counters i can easily add in the 15 bonus unit types that are also useless.
