COG:EE NATO style chits

[RyanCrierie]

Currently a WIP. I'm reusing a lot of what I did for my Forge of Freedom Chits, modified slightly.



As you can tell, I tried to stick to the traditional infantry colors for them; like Green for Russia, and Red for the Brits.

The problem comes for the other nations -- everyone loved to use variations of blue! You have the prussian dark blue, then the French are either white/blue depending on whether they are the Revolutionary Period or the Imperial period. So I sort of fell back onto the traditional wargame standbys for Spain/Swedeen/Turkey.

I can understand the problems the Empire Total War guys felt in trying to make the infantry units of such a large spread of history unique from each other when everyone was wearing blue/white. [:@]

Right now; I've got the symbol backing being the US Army's traditional branch colors, like light blue for infantry, jungle green for special forces/jaeger/riflemen; and when I get to it, scarlet for artillery.

Great work! I can't wait until you have the set done!

Thanks so much for doing them!

Here's the current chits:

I've tried to use historical uniform colors wherever possible, with some tweeks for playability, such as spain or turkey. The symbols are based off NATO APP-6 and US 2526 symbols wherever possible, with some influences from WWII German Symbols (black bars on left to indicate 'heavy' units; and General HQ flags)

The color behind the symbol is that branch's historical color in the US Army; e.g. horse artillery has a mix of yellow (cavalry) and red (artillery) colors.

However, I could change it to something like that nation's secondary color;

Napoleonic (Imperial) France Line Infantry: (Blue Coat; White Leggings)
Austrian (German) Line Infantry: (White Coat, White Leggings)
Austrian (Hungarian) Line Infantry: (White Coat, Light Blue Leggings)
British Army: (Red Coat, White Leggings)
Prussian IR of Prince Henry (Dark Blue Coat, Yellow Leggings)
Prussian IR: (Dark Blue Coat, White Leggings)
Russia: (Green Coat, White Leggings)
Spanish Cavalry: (Blue Coat, Yellow Leggings)
Swedish Infantry: (Grey Coat, Grey Leggings) Link

First initial test of the chits in game:

But I have a question regarding depots.

In the graphics file, there are four different files for land depots, and apparently one for naval depots. Are these used in the game?

It's why I numbered my depot chits from IV (Weakest) to I (Strongest).

[Gil R.]

The original COG had naval depots, though they looked like ordinary depots. I'm not sure why that ship-depot wasn't used. My guess is that there are four depots so that we could decide which one looked best.

thanks for making these nato style counters, they are my favorite

After finding problems with my earlier style of chits; I went back and redid them, so that they wouldn't break the visual style of COG too much.
