Yep, recall those counters as well.

I'd almost like to mix and match the nato counters with the rounded air units so it is easier at a glance to tell air from ground.

still the Regia Marina to complete....

I plan to do all major nations with specific icons, it may take a while.
Did anybody knows why we got 12 counters per rows on the Nato sprite file?
I wonder this is to manage upgrades and facing direction?

Thanks all for your comments. Any

After thinking twice I realize I still got (somewhere) a second AH game.
Squad leader + crescendo of doom + Cross of iron expansion.

For the circle counter for plane I believe I have seen on Schwerpunkt game, I think they use also hexagon counter for navy. (or could be the opposite)

I will post the final version by end of this week, then start next nation(s)
I did also change "unit_nato_flag_sprites" to allow correct HQ display

Voila

P is Partisan unit, G is for Garnison unit and the X Badge is for the X-MAS unit (Italy Marine Commando)

I Start UK unit right now should be little bit faster as I get template file ready and I think I will use same silhouettes for all navy's, with this scale I think we cant make difference between every nation battleships

The question always is: Should a unit be depicted from above or from the side. I'm always torn about this, but with ships I generally think that the outlines are easier to depict in a recognizable way if seen sideways on.

You're right DN is for Dreadnought, and its already included in the vanilla game, I simply set a battleship for this picture slot.

In a strategic game one should immediately, with a glance, understand the situation. Elegant and simple in their format, they serve the job magnificently.

In the vanilla game, it's just a unit slot that can be used for modders.

Maybe we will use it properly in the future too.
