Strategic View Icons

In PG2 when you switch to strategic view, instead of tanks, infantry, artillery etc, icons, the map shows country flags. This gives you a clear snapshot of the battle. At the moment when you switch in PzCorps you get tiny tanks etc. and it is very hard to tell which side they belong to. To me this is important as I it is really difficult to get a clear strategic overview of the battle which I maybe do 10 times a turn and so really slow down the game and the feel of being in control of your force. It would be nice to be able to toggle between flags and sprites in strategic mode

Another point in terms of visual clarity, which I've made before but which has proved to be constantly annoying, is that when "next unit" is slected, the white border is really hard to pick out.

Overall though, I'm starting to get that PG2 addiction feeling.

Sorry, just spotted the toggle button.
Shows up as colours rather than flagt shows the unit type so this is an improvement on PG2
Nice work.
