I'd like to know what the NATO fans think so far.... am I on the right track? Perhaps I should make the counters Grey for Axis and Red for Communists?

Status: offline 		Hmm, I have an issue I'll have to ask you guys.  The Nato symbol for cavalry is a diagonal line from top right to bottom left, while that for a Scout is the same thing.  So this may get confusing.  I'll have find an alternative.  Any good suggestions?


Anyhow, I'm making these so when they flip over (happens now and then), the bottoms look the same as the top, so no need to re-load maps.

Status: offline 		I also have another question, with Nato symbols the icon for WHEELED units is three small circles at the bottom of the counter.  Does this also stand for units that use treads, or not?  I"d like to know so I can correctly distinguish between different self-propelled artillery and not.

Status: offline 		Well done Obsolete...but not for me. I never did think the game engine was going to suit counters and imo I was right.

But hey...it's an option and other people are feeling the love...well done.

I didn't mean anything by it. He's done a good job, I just meant I wouldn't be using counters as I think the style of the game needs unit icons...for me it just fits better.

Like I said, Obsolete...god job though. I think you will have made quite a few people happy

That way, if you find a mistake, or new units get added in a patch, you can uninstall, fix the mod, and reinstall.

That's pretty good but mostly for modern stuff.

Try here for some 1941-42 German symbols:

Here for everyone else:

Anyhow... so far infantry, scout, and artillery units are done (though some could and will do with tweaking later on).  I'll save air-power for last, so that leaves AA, Tanks, and Anti-Tanks to also do.

Sounds weird to say it but very exciting stuff!

There are cancellation dates, but only if you buy units in the game. For the editor you can place any unit that was available before and at that date.
This was done because sometimes armies used old stuff that was not in production for quite some time when times were rough.
