Enjoying my early hours with the game.

I would like to see the difference between infantry unit size be a little clearer then the small XXX at the top. Maybe something like this, with the left side being the smallest division, middle small corps, right full size corps?

With NATO maybe distinguish them with fill color of the icon and size?

Is this moddable if not?

Originally I was going to do that and I did but after looking at the map with all those counters it was way too busy on the eyes and cause problems so I said it to single silhouette figures and allowed players to modify the counters they wanted to. I provided the blank counter sheets for the NATO symbols and the Silhouettes and the campaigns folder

I agree with "Fintilgin" here in this matter.

However I understand the picture of several soldiers on the counters might be taxing for the eye.

How about making them all one soldier but different background colour,
division white
Small corp grey
Large corp black

I think that would solve the issue

I thought I'd try my hand at a little modding to see if I could make this myself. I think all infantry units are currently coded to pull from the same tile though. Here's my example:

The first bit is cut from my units.png. I assume the three infantry chits SHOULD be for division, small corps, large corps. But it looks like ALL infantry counters draw from the third tile only. Some of those units should be two or one infantry counters.

Obviously not a big priority to fix, but it would be nice if this was adjusted at some point. :)
