Hey, Maenoferren, no need to worry about me taking it the wrong way. I'm more than happy about this kind of constructive remarks. :-h
So thank youfor the feedback, that's exactly the kind of remarks I'm looking for, and the reason I start with just one squad instead of an entire company... I was already thinking whether the bazooka in the ardennes scene in Band of Brothers wasn't more green gray rather than metallic, but I'm watching Pacific now and I don't wanna mix :o). I'll have a thorough look at the link you provided, all of this is new to me, boardgames don't require one to think about the colour of boots or weaponry.

I'm wondering whether I should try to paint on flags and badges?
I really like those :D
