Has anything "official" been set for the colors, insignia, flag, etc. of the
OU? Also, does anybody know if any more Maori are slated for production?

I think Brendan or some one has some stuff up too somewhere.

Or just let your own imagination run wild;)

This is always good. An interesting thing for me though has been a sot of
satisfaction in having some consistency between different players of the same
military. For me it gives a greater scope when you can get together with
somebody else who uses the same force and your units look at least similar
next to one another. Sort of a true feeling that you are both part of a much
bigger military.

I understand the sentiment, though to be honest for most of my armies my units
don't even do that and they're definitely in the same military;)

Or not so wild... <g> My OU fleet scheme takes its inspiration from the
"Oceanic" part -- they're painted like ships! Dark or Medium Sea Grey
as the upper base hull colour, matt red on the underside,
black/silver/gold/copper details, decal letters as ship identifiers.
The Eureka ships (as opposed to other stuff that I have the Fleet "buy in"
from outside) are particularly suited to this scheme. I think they look rather
neat.
