[QUOTE=carnifex]Again, I would like to state that I don't really care how the counters look, as long as they are in an easily modifiable format.

Please check out the following site, which hosts graphic mods for Strategic Command (an excellent ww2 strategy game):

http://ww2n.com/schq/gfx/units.htm

Please note at the top of the page is the stock vanilla countersheet that comes with the game. Below that are the many mods available. If you want NATO symbols or if you prefer silhouettes, gamers themselves have provided the solution.

Please see also http://ww2n.com/schq/gfx.htm, which lists all the graphics mods. As you can see, this has provided customization and I believe has also greatly extended the life of this product.

I can only hope Matrix sees that the graphics files in EiA are in a simple non-custom format for easy modding.[/QUOTE]

You know I would have guessed that making the graphics easily modifiable would be the route of choice for a game like this. Heck, put up some stock counters and maps and then let us do the work to customize our game after it has been released. Deadlines would be a lot easier to meet then and gameplay would take the lion's share of the work. What could be better for gamers?
