Hello Nigel: No, that's not flourescent lighting. Is lime green wrong? Next you'll tellme the VC aren;t wearing Royal Purplae pajamas! Actually they were my...
Mark, They look good. Nigel was just being funny/sarcastic from a slip I made using the words "wrong color" in a previous discussion about Vietnam era...

I base my figures individually, and don't codify them by squad, that way I can use whomever with whatever organization. If I'm using a game that requires that...
