Check these counters out that someone made for another publishers game. I've never seen such excellent counters in any game.

Very nice indeed. The maps and counter mods in so many games show what talent can do. We have a lot of talented graphic artists in our midst.

Very good artwork. Nice to see people tweaking those boring old counters.

Another one. Hope Matrix doesnt mind. I'm not advocating anyone purchase HoI3 as much as I'm just showing off what can be done outside of the usual NATO counters.

Too bad the game is useless for me. Just crashed again. Still unstable after all this time.

Shows some talent, however I'm not to keen to be honest. Abit to much going on in them. At games above Squad..maybe platoon scale I prefer good looking counters but no pics of tanks or soldiers on them. I like Decisive Campaigns counters look good and all the info and colour coding that helps with play and I also liked shock horror SSG counters as I did like the actual division patch being shown on them.

Pretty enough but at anything over the tactical level I'd go for NATO icons (or equivalent) every time.

When you select a stack, is there a screen that shows the info of ALL the counters in the stack?

I actually already have HOI3 but have never played it. Where might I find the counters mod?

It only works with Their Finest Hour version which requires the others.

Yeah, I'm a nato guy myself at this scale, especially if there are a lot of different kinds of units. It would never work for a game like WiF. But I do like these and theyre a nice break from the stock ones. I loaded up SSG's Battlefront to refresh my memory of their counters, but it looks terrible because of the resolution.

For someone as Colour-Blind as me, this makes things much easier. Heck just because of that I will go play a quick round of HI3 just to see how they look!

Well that's kind of crappy only making a mod that works if you buy everything. Makes me think the modder and Johan had something going. I don't need the graphics face lift that bad, I probably won't ever play the thing anyways. Just got it for the collection factor of it anyways. Came with a few DLC's but not all of them. That was like $20 I think or more.

I could be wrong about only being for tfh. Check out their forum. I seriously doubt there was any kind of collaboration. That's crazy talk. There are a ton of mods out there.

Im taking this winter off and I realley think I should revisit HOI3,its totally stable on my laptop,many mods and fully patched.IMHO its a lot more detailed and grognard compared to anything here on a grand strategy global level.

Well there certainly isn't a lot of competition out there. At least none with an ai. As far as patched up? Yes, they're done releasing patches for it. That part I'm not crazy about. If that laptop is running 64 bit windows 7, it might not be as stable as you hoped it would be, although some user created programs have indeed helped to stabilize it. I'd recommend weekly autosaves. I believe they will soon announce hoi4, most likely in January.

IF WiF was stable with an ai, it would be the definitive grog global war game. But right now that's a big if.

I don't think you can go wrong bairdlander with HoI3. I was playing the original one before I ever started coming here and it holds a special place for me still even with all it's flaws. I bought the other 2 with all the ad dons but never got far with them. Seemed like there was always another game I was playing at the time, mostly Matrix games. If it were a turn based gamed probably enjoy it more too but I think I'll be getting back to it soon.

Btw, are you living abroad? Looks like things at the NSA are getting shaken up and we might be able to preserve our 4th amendment rights, something those on the right(me) and on the left (you) should always be able to agree on.

I have to disagree, as Making History I & II has all the detail of HOI's and a smart ai.l I've never met a HOI I couldn't beat but this ai in Making History really is aggressive. The USA attacked me in Brazil, the HOI series AI never did that.
