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.

Italians tanks + air force
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
(I only own 1 game from AH but its War and Peace, so no planes....[:(]

Very nice counters, I didnt know that game
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 like the bombs as level indicators, may even give the round counters a look at. Similar to schwerpunkt's countrr shapes also.

Italians completed still few minor cosmetic changes to do.
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

Count me in for this mod - I like every graphic design decision you have made - the counters are informative, easy to understand and fun to look at.

Really nice looking designs. I actually prefer the 3D icons in this game, but for counters you've truly nailed it. Kudos.

Looks very nice! I'm curious, what are those units with letters P,G and X?

Thank you all,
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.
