I'm at a loss too. Was on the phone with Unfortunate Son..who installed V3 in the MOD folder (not the Community Pack>Mod path)...and that worked for him. He sent me a screenshot via text to confirm. So I tried that method, got a series of errors, and had to ESC..and uninstall the mod so I could get the game to function so I could proceed with my YT match vs GTWC.
Anyways this is all weird. Also, both Unfortunate Son and I considered just replacing the Bitmaps (for me in my game and over write the vanilla NATO counters-after backing up those of course), but can't find the BitMap folder in the usual place like the other SC games. If I can do this as a work-around I will. I looked at all the Minor and Major Sets and know where to put them as replacement.
For some reason at least on my PC Strategic Command American Civil War installed to Program Files Matrix Games, while the other games in the series all installed to Program Files (x86)?

Thanks Kirk. When I get done with my current YouTube MP match vs GWTC, I'm planning to save the original NATO bitmaps and over write yours in. I'm going to wait because I am a little hesitant with screwing with the game files, even though it should be no problem with graphics files. The PBEM server sometimes is finicky. I'm in an epic match and I want to prove the CSA can beat the Union, even with V.01 which is what we are playing. I don't want to screw that up haha.
I'll post here when I do this thing.
Thanks for the path image...

I suggest pulling the counters out into a separate thread. Digging them out of this one will only get harder.

Very good suggestion will see about doing just that.
