+1. Then maybe next time I won't think that my commander counter is an infantry unit...

There's also the color of the NATO symbol that represents the unit type. Blue for AA, brown for ATG, white for Transports, Yellow for Leaders, Grey for HQs, etc...

The basic twelve color codes as available in Alt Counters in the colored bar in the bottom are explained HERE.

No thats not in the manual, man that was bugging me.I looked and looked had no idea what those colored bars were for. Probably should be in manual,somewhere[:)] ....nice feature.

Duly noted about the manual! Will make sure these things are included in the future UPDATES.

Updated the download archive with a better quality graphics sheet. For some reason the JPG version in the previous load was quite blurred. Here's an bitmap that should be as sharp as they come. Just download again, the url remains the same.

@Jason: perhaps sticky this post for now?
