This mod adds equipment/vehicle text and aircraft model/type text to the stock WitE ground and air unit icons (the icons that pop up on the bottom of your screen when you hover your mouse over a unit). Both monochrome and color versions are included in this mod.

There are two variations of this mod, with some flexibility on mixing and matching variations. The first one is all monochrome (i.e. shades of grey but mostly white) and the second one is color, with the colors for each countries units matching the default color of the units at the maximum zoom level (i.e. the colors from the Counter9x9.tga file).

To use the monochrome version of this mod, copy all the TARGA files (i.e. the .tga files) in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Monochrome folder to your Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat\Art\Units folder and restart the game.

To use the color version of this mod, copy all the TARGA files (i.e. the .tga files) in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\color folder to your Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat\Art\Units folder and restart the game.

Alternate color versions of the Italian and Soviet Union are also included.

The alternate Italian color is for use with JMass unit mod (which changed the Italians from yellow to dark green) and is located in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Countries\Italy\Dark Green - For JMass Unit Mod folder. To use this version copy all the files in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Countries\Italy\Dark Green - For JMass Unit Mod folder to your Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat\Art\Units folder and restart the game.

The alternate Soviet Union color is reddish instead of the default brownish color and is located in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Countries\Soviet Union\Red. To use this version copy all the files in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Countries\Soviet Union\Red folder to your Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat\Art\Units folder and restart the game.

Finally, every countries units are broken down into different folders in the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Countries\ folders. In each of those folders, there is a Monochrome as well as a Color folder (except for Italy which has a Dark Green and Yellow folder and the Soviet Union which has a Red and Brown folder), allowing you to mix and match which versions you want to use for each country. For instance, if you dont like the colors for the Soviet units (and I cant say I love either the brown or red myself), you can use the monochrome versions of the Soviet units and the color versions of the Axis units. To do that, you would copy all the color units from the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\color folder to your Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat\Art\Units folder and then copy the monochrome Soviet units from the WitE Combined Unit Icon Mod\Countries\Soviet Union\Monochrome folder to your Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat\Art\Units folder and restart the game.

The type of aircraft is shown in black on the air unit icons. The different types are:

F = Fighter
FB = Fighter Bomber
NF = Night Fighter
TB = Tactical Bomber
LB = Level Bomber
R = Recon
JF = Jet Fighter
T = Transport

As always, make sure to back up the original files first! Also note that you are not required to copy the Preview Pictures or the Readme files (i.e. the .jpg or .txt files).
