Of course if it works for you why not.

How about this as an alternative?

I edited mys posts, my problem came from a bad installation of the Welk's map mod. Now all is ok. sorry to have bothered you for nothing.

Only problem is, everytime you make an improvement, I have to redo my changes too.

Status: offline 		Haha! Nothing right now. It's pretty much done. But never say never...

I did look today at the fighter intercept/escort range tile highlight - it appears when clicking a second/third time on an air unit - as it's not obvious what the colors mean. A quick read of the manual clarified that and what I replaced it with didn't look better so in the end, I didn't change it.

Okay, I've figured it out. For some reason, Major 4 which are the Russians, also have a folder in the Campaigns folder which has to be manually replaced with the new nato files.

Oh, yes, and Iron, I think, unless changed by now, your mod has the old Europe mini-map. Should be replaced next update.

Status: offline 		The mini-map was changed long ago. You need to make sure all the files in the Campaigns folder are copied across. The mini-map is in the Interface sub-folder.

I'm not sure why the developers chose to have separate graphics files for each campaign. I guess it gives them the option of changing them, but I'm not sure why this would be necessary.

I am also using it in SC3 War in Europe but the forests do not appear correctly. I had to put back the original terrain icons and everything was perfect.

Status: offline 		Thanks! I just wasn't entirely happy with the Japanese SF figure so in the end went with the NATO symbol, which meant they all had to be changed. It also better reflects the size of the unit. I think the vehicles, ships, and aircraft icons still work and are what inspired me to make the mod in the first place.

Status: offline 		Yes, I love the ship/plane and vehicles. If you don't mind, I'd like to mod the ship counters to better represent the task force concept and then use the rest for the naval mod. I'll get permission to use Sipres excellent work as well for the 3d option and of course Welk's map.

I didn’t start playing the game in earnest until I started to mod it. I just prefer the look of old-school board games, which was my introduction to the hobby many years ago.

Status: offline 		I installed this set and promptly found an error. The USN launched and deployed two battle cruisers (CC) in World War II, USS Alaska and USS Guam, both of which served with the U.S. Navy during the last year of the war.

I built a USN CC unit in the game I am currently playing, but this counter set yields only a USN CC counter with a large X through it, and it is labeled "Not Used."

Well, I use it, and I use it to represent two real ships that really fought with the USN in the Pacific and were awarded real battle stars.

Please update the counter set to include a USN counter for USN battle cruisers, per history. Thank you.

Status: offline 		I'm really tempted to use this mod, it looks excellent. The only thing that's holding me back is that artillery and anti-tank units don't have the NATO symbol at the top right as the cavalry units do. I know that it's named in the counter itself, but I think it would be better if the NATO symbol would be used instead. Would help with non-English speakers too. I'd argue you could do the same with the tanks as well, but they're well known as it is, especially with the target audience.

thanks!
