Hi all:
is there a mod somewhere to see the unit or the formation name or symbol (like in the decisive battle series where you can see a Big Red 1 on all counters of regiments of the first US-Infantry-Division) on the on-map icons?

I tried once to make one for my Vietnam series featuring divisional insignias, but the available space on the counters is very limited and it turned out very small and almost undistinguishable.

I would realy like to see that feature too.  I would be happy to have it instead of the movement and combat stats, if space is a consideration.  That way I could play like the real generals, who have formation names on their operational maps, rather than unit strengths.  I was hoping that would be a feature of TOAW III, and would have bought if it was, even though I already have 3 previous versions of the game.
