You mentioned terrain but it looks mostly like the game terrain?

And unlike the SL mod this one does not have the star attributes from TotH?

No stars like base TotH or my Squad Leader mod. This was for the folks asking for an "ASL" like look.

Your Squad Leader graphics mods have convinced me to buy this game.

Where can you get JSGME at or can I copy it from another game like Campaign Series?
Thanks!

Here's the description from the ASLSK Tutorial PDF.

quote:


A German 1st Line rifle squad has the following values printed on the front of the counter: 4-6-7. These are, from left to right, Firepower (FP), Range, and Morale Level. A squad typically represents ten soldiers, although this will vary somewhat depending upon nationality and date.

A squad’s FP is primarily based upon its weaponry. In the case of the German 1st Line squad, this would be a light machine gun with a two-man crew, six riflemen with bolt-action rifles, and a sergeant and a corporal who could be armed with either rifles or submachine guns.

To better understand FP, compare a German Elite rifle squad: 4-6-8, to a German Conscript rifle squad: 4-3-6. The elite squad is a highly trained, highly motivated unit, while the conscript squad is either a poorly trained unit, or a unit that has suffered casualties to its key personnel. But both squads have the same exact FP... because they have the same equipment.

A squad’s range, however, is based on both equipment and training. A German 1st Line squad has the same range as a German Elite squad, 6 hexes, so both squads are capable of effective fire at long range. But the German Conscript squad only has a range of 3 hexes; it has the same basic weapons as the other two squads, but it does not have the coordination (again due to lack of training or casualties to key personnel) to fire effectively at the same range as the better squads.

So does that mean that the ASL counters used in the mod correspond to the unit values in Tigers On The Hunt?

Nope. The numbers on these counters are for the ASL board game and don't correspond to TotH. They are for looks
only.

Now my Squad Leader mod matches TotH.

Here is a quick chart of the two counters. ASL vs TotH

TotH Fire Power Letters A -G ASL first digit 8 - 2 , Moral TotH number of stars ASL last digit

Thanks Ed!

Got it installed but, when I enable graphics through JSGME the old graphics still remain.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

If your having problems I created a video on how to install map, scenarios, and mods. Make a backup copy of your terrain file first please.

It's the way it's packaged. For some reason Richie or Dropbox has separated the folders incorrectly so you get an empty ASL folder and a Graphics folder which means you're ending up with the terrain.png file being in the root folder instead of Graphics.

For JSGME you'll want to place the "ASL Mod" folder inside the MODS folder and under that you want the graphics folder with your replacement content.

The path should be this:
TotH Root Folder -> MODS -> ASL Mod -> Graphics -> terrain.png

That way when you enable ASL Mod via JSGME you're replacing the terrain.png in the Root -> Graphics folder.
