Hi Christophe,

Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.

To borrow a line from Seinfeld, "I've been rubbing two sticks together and you've been using a lighter!"
I will be trying Inkscape ASAP.

This should help me get by Mod much sooner and with better graphics.
I hope to post something soon.

Much appreciated and the French units below are looking great too.

Cheers,

Angus

I think this counter mod will work perfectly with Welk's boardgame map mode!

Those look amazing!

One question, are upgrades just like the current game (little numbers underneath counters)?

Yes, upgrades are managed by current game (small numbers wich are sometimes hard to read)
I may do some changes for this but in later revision of the MOD.

I had almost complete POLAND, and start AXIS and Allied minors.
I think if I get enough time that MOD will be available for download by next week.

Absolutely! I'm using that now and it works with the default units but will be perfect with these.

Thank you SIPRES for your very creative efforts - I will be doing the same as Gordianknot and installing these counters along with Welk's boardgame mod. I don't care for the 3D counters, but straight NATO counters are a little too dry for me. This is a perfect mid point - plus you have chosen historically accurate icons for the counters as well.

If this forum had an option for up voting, you would be awash with them.

I love the round counters but would want to keep the default NATO for land units. Sadly can't pick and choose that way.

I have seen there is 1 Major nation slot unused, any Idea wich Nation I could add?
Free France ?
Or maybe Spain?
Or maybe Canada ? I just played a game where the UK surrendered, and because Canada is a UK Minor, the entire game changed. Severe advantage to the Axis !

Thank you SIPRES for this fine mod!

Absolutely brilliant work SIPRES, thank you. On the second zoom level, the counter re-set to the original design. Is there any way to change that?

That's because the all png's named "unit_sprites_nato_zoom.png" aren't included in the mod. Perhaps an oversight?

Marcus the leper: "On the second zoom level, the counter re-set to the original design"

That is because if you change the size to make the version "small" the texts become illegible
and we no longer see the difference between a corps and an army
... I tested

very nice counters [&o]

Here is a screenshot of germans counters test in zoom level.
I was not satisfied with the result (no so easy to read)
This is why I didnt include zoom level in the MOD

I will post them anyway later this week (just need resize others nations)

Hello Sipres

I will try to make a version "small" more readable by modifying a bit, I would show you the result.
