Status: offline 		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:

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"

Status: offline 		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.

It's too nice to be neglected

Status: offline 		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.

Yes the Russian ones looks awful indeed.

Well perhaps not the rather over dimensioned artillery barrel

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.
