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.

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.

This is really well done, they look fantastic. Any ETA as to when this mod will be available?
