Which one?
I don't really like the red on black of the AT values for 3rd Armored Div counters. On the physical counter the numbers are hard to see, and it isn't much better in Vassal. So...

    vs.     

Which one should be in the Vassal extension?
(I can guess your vote Felipe.)

Well, don't forget to vote. While I lean yellow, I also think the color is a little garish.

The version on the right with the AT values in Armor Gold is much easier to see. IMHO. That would be my choice.

Was that your guess?

Pretty much that, since I recall that you are red colorblind.

Yes, many of us have varying levels of red-green colorblindness.

FLM units with green background colors are particularly challenging to discern.

Now that the poll is finished.
The poll closed the evening before July 4th and the general opinion is quite clear. The yellow (higher contract) AT values are preferred by a 2-1 margin.

So here is what I'll do. With the next update, I make the yellow AT values the standard version. I will put the red AT version in the Lesser known extensions thread. I will also put a note and link (if links are supported) in the extension note.

Both versions are actually complete at this time. Both versions use the same file names for the graphics and pieces have the same ID's. The hope was this was that 2 players could use their preferred versions in shared play. I tested this concept with battlecarrysabo in our game session last night and it holds true. This means you don't need to worry about version compatibility on this point, just use the one you like.

Now I need to getback to work on the update I mentioned.

They say that 20% of American males have some level of red-green colorblindness and the VA ophthalmologist  that I see says that is about right for his male patients in Arizona. Of course, most of his patients are over 65, but I don't think that it is an age-related disability.

In MLB baseball, they figure that at least 10% of male MLB players have a range of red/green colorblindness.  The pitching pros say that it makes a difference in hitter's perception of thrown pitches.

Is it a curve, a slider, a sinker or a fast ball? Split second decisionmaking, is usually tied to a lot of factors, that include how those red stitches on the ball look to you.
