You do realize that with all the different color counters, you do not need the country flags any more (they are redundant now). As a result, that is one more thing you can eliminate to make thses counter look more and more like real board game counters.

How about a smaller, single engine silhouette for the fighter units? Twin engines for TAC, 4 engines for SAC, and for the composite, a trio of reduced size of each, in formation?

I might be wrong, but aren't there only different counter colors for the main powers (Russia, US, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Poland)? Minors use the counters of those countries, i.e., the flags are still necessary, me thinks

The minor powers use one seperate set, the counters have a white theme. The flags are still useful in that case. Some minor powers do use major power counters (Free France, Vichy France), though.

There are only regular air units and strategic air units. I chose a very identifyable aircraft from each of the major powers bomber inventory. True, there could be a better progression of aircraft according to tech level, but I am going to get these counters out first. Doing a progression would take alot of time, maybe later.

The strength/AP text is hard-coded (as far as I know), so I simply cannot add a space. I can change the font to make it larger, so I will experiment with making it a bit larger.

Hehe, that is the way the info is presented by default. At first I just made the counters more attractive. My second set I am messing with the way the info is actually drawn.

To the moderators: It might be easier to start a new thread so there arent multiple downloading links, and delete this one.
