Yes to install with other mods. If you have other mods chosen I have no idea which on takes precedence. Hubert related that to us once but I lost track of were it is.

Put everything but the folder Naval War Unit Counters Round, in the Campaign folder located in Documents/My Games/Strategic Command WWI/Campaigns. Put the Naval War Unit Counters Round in the Mod folder.

The bitmap mod only changes the unit counters. Any other mods like Welk's Map Mod or Blue Max map mods will still work. Just make sure any other unit mod is turned off.

The graphics shown were done using the Naval War Unit Counters Round mod and the Blue Max Mod. No other mod was turn on.

sp it needs to go in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWI\Mods? Correct or the Other Documents? its my understanding you put in in Documents under the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games, just want to make sure this is correct only the counters i know goes in the mods folder the rest goes in campaigns, but wanting to know if the rest goes under
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWI

For the 1914 Scenario I just took what Hubert decided was the order of battle and divided by 2 the number of dreadnoughts to simulate a Battle Squadron Division. If I had went with just Battle Squadrons the RN would have only 4 (boring) so I decided to go with Divisions which had two per Battle Squadron.

The totals are pretty eye opening for destroyers compared to capital ships. In 1916 there were 160 destroyers for 28 Dreadnoughts/battleships in the Grand Fleet. During the Battle of Jutland there were 46 destroyers assigned to direct escort for the Battle Squadrons. The other 120 something were running around in Flotillas screening the big boys.

The numbers and composition changed constantly throughout the war and make it pretty confusing to figure out so I trusted the developers numbers rather than spend my time duplicating their efforts.

Here's what the Grand Fleet looked like in 1918. I have no facts and figures on how the fleet was in 1914 so I went with Hubert's and Bill's estimate.

i figured it out! thank you for the help! good looking mod thus far!

Glad to here! Most of the graphics were done by IronX and Welk. I just modified stuff. The reason I could do the mod is because of Hubert's great and powerful editor.

ORIGINAL: Hairog

All the artwork is modified from Welch, IronX, Bill, and Hubert's wonderful creations.

Apologies if these are actually errors in the original files, but why is Antwerp not a port and why is the hex north-east of Antwerp not a coast-line hex?

are the ships or Div/Flottilas stronger in your mod than vanilla game? just wondering wht to do with these ships, now i can have a Proper Battle of Jutland!
these 2 ship counters have No text. Bug?

Dang it! Sorry all. The default mode when you first enter the editor is the change hex tool. When I start to scroll around I, much too often, blow up or add land hexes, sea hexes, etc. most I catch but not all obviously. That is a big one.
Thanks FOARP for seeing it and bringing it to my attention.

Fixing it now and should have a revision by tomorrow.

2.1 HERE and every where There's a HERE

Hi. Quick question. Is this mod still alive and kicking with the latest version of the game?

I assume so, but I will give it a test run.

Thanks. I am not a very experienced player so I have a hard time telling whether there any strange things happening that shouldn’t.

Started a new Entente game to check out the mod, noticed there are some land units not present in the base 1914 scenario (an ANZAC division in Oxford, heavy artillery and light artillery brigades nearby, and Plumer's HQ). There's also at least three zeppelins on Central Powers' side.

Couldn't find any information confirming you've made some changes to the starting land OOB as well, and doing so seems outside the purposes of the mod (don't recall any land OOB changes in WaW) but suppose it's possible. Want to confirm these are intended changes and everything is working ok.

Also, the first post mentions 2.1 but the link still directs to 2.0.

Sorry for the very late response. I did not changes to the OOB or to any land units and their presence or availability. I have no idea how these changes came about. I will check on the version available in the link.

Thank you for being so thorough.
