IronX -> IronX Counter Mod (9/17/2007 6:48:15 AM)

Although it will likely take a few weeks to complete all of the counters, I wanted to share with you my progress as I go. Most of the German land units are now done. I've just finished the arty piece, but may yet replace the gun with a minenwefer if it looks better. So here's how they look so far:

JudgeDredd -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/17/2007 5:12:32 PM)

Like them very much...well done and congrats



James Ward -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/17/2007 7:00:56 PM)

Very nice. They definately will add flavor to the game.



GJK -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/17/2007 10:26:12 PM)

It would be neat if there were a way to grab photo's of the actual leader of each of the HQ elements to put on the counter instead of all having the same 'generic' image. That would be a bit of digging around the net and then a lot of extra work though. Very nice look though, I'm going to have to write a little batch file that will swap yours with mine and vice versa depending on the mood. :)

and that swaps with the original, for those "other of us"[;)]



Hentzau -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/18/2007 12:18:07 AM)

IronX -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/18/2007 7:05:42 PM)

BaitBoy -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/23/2007 2:02:10 AM)

Realy good!  Do you diferentiate between seige and regular artillary?



IronX -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/23/2007 2:40:28 AM)

There is only the one artillery counter, so in most instances I have chosen to use field guns (generally around the 75/77 caliber), but thrown in some different sizes for flavor. I have tried to keep the counters historically accurate so they display guns used by that nation during the war.

I've now completed all land units except for the US, which I should have done in the next day or two. When the US is completed, I'll do the naval units and then the mod will be ready to go sometime next week.

Looking real nice.

IronX -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/23/2007 2:55:35 AM)

A taste of what's to come: this time Bulgarians and Turks...

Lascar -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/23/2007 3:03:16 AM)

These counters really give a nice period feel to the game. Thanks for the effort.



TheBlackhorse -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/23/2007 4:44:17 AM)

yep. Bravo Zulu!



Radagy -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/23/2007 12:34:26 PM)

May be someone already suggested it, but I think this mod deserves to be added in one of the next official patch.
It's too nice to be neglected [;)]



SteveD64 -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/24/2007 4:13:21 PM)

very good! if there's one thing I would change it would be to put white lettering on counters that are darker shaded (like Bulgaria).  Putting it it in the next patch is a good idea.



Venator -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/24/2007 4:32:52 PM)

Those counters look fantastic - the best of the (all excellent) counter mods I've seen.



IronX -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/25/2007 3:57:11 AM)

The mod is nearing completion and should be done within the next few days. I'm now working on the last few navies. Here's an example of what the ship counters will look like:

IronX -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/25/2007 3:58:09 AM)

And here are some more land units, this time the Russians:

SMK-at-work -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/25/2007 4:01:19 AM)

Ahh...now these ones are looking good....the pic's are big enough to actually make out what they are representing - well done sir!![&o]



hjaco -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/25/2007 10:14:26 AM)

Great work IronX.

Yes the Russian ones looks awful indeed.

Well perhaps not the rather over dimensioned artillery barrel [;)]



SMK-at-work -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/25/2007 11:09:24 AM)

Yes he does like those gun barrels doesn't he!![8D][8D]



JudgeDredd -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/25/2007 11:18:49 AM)

Looking forward to you releasing these. Stellar work.

The other poster (GJK) working on a mod has done an excellent map and I appreciate that, but I prefer these counters. Good work and keep going m8.

Do I detect a hint of Freud[:)]



cantona2 -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/26/2007 12:55:46 AM)

Brilliant work [&o]

cant wait



IronX -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/26/2007 1:40:28 AM)

Thanks all! The wait is just about over. All the counters are basically done so it's just a matter of some fine tuning and then I'll zip them up and see whether the kind folks at Matrix will host them. [:)]



HobbesACW -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/28/2007 7:25:41 PM)

I can't wait any longer! Will they be available this weekend?



Erik Rutins -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/28/2007 8:44:15 PM)

IronX's counters should now be available as a public download for GoA in our Members Club.



HobbesACW -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/28/2007 9:45:56 PM)

Found it - thanks Erik!
Cheers, Chris



Venator -> RE: IronX Counter Mod (9/28/2007 10:23:49 PM)

They're fantastic, thankyou. Except the British are too hard to read - they'd be better with black lettering.
