Very nice, looking forward to them [:)]

Found this Gem 'World at War' the other day.

These unit counters are supurb!
But - being a noobie to the Strategic Command series I just went to the link, downloaded and extracted straight into the WatW Bitmap folder..
mm...I should of read the fine type.. the download was for WIE...

The Italians were in Europe, their Fleet in the Baltic and the Wehrmacht in Tobruk and Ethiopia. Red Army counters had bolted - gone.

Not a problem.. (WTF had I done), lucky me had done a backup..

Copy and paste said Nationality bitmaps into correct folders of WatW - Major_08 (Germans) Major_09 (Italians) and the Russians into anything that read 'Major_04'.
Allied & Axis miniors and Major_01 to Major_05 folders were fine.

I am enjoying Strategic Command World at War with the new counters, they really add 'flavour' to a staid boring NATO counter mix.
A lot of work and effort must of went into the production of these.
Can't wait for the Chinese and Japanese Units

Wow... that's pretty impressive 'HeinzBaby' to have figured all that out on your own!

I especially like the way you did the naval units. The ships sitting on the half colored counter gives the impression of being at sea. And your method of differentiating the air unit types is perfect.

Thanks for making the mod available.

I am happy you like them, enjoy gaming..

Hello,
loving the counters, but for some odd reason the UK counters do not take ingame for me at all.
They show in the preview where you can choose between 2 and 3D counters, it shows uk counters i believe, but ingame uk counters do not show.
Can anyone help me out here please?

Even more wierd to me is that only forces starting in europe or north africa are affected. The ones in sudan,south africa or india all changed to the new counters.Im lost

Hi Markus,

This is really strange. The same file is used by the engine whatever the UK units are located on the map...
could you check the following path on your computer:

C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER NAME HERE\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\Campaigns\_THE CAMPAIGN NAME YOU PLAY\Bitmaps\Major_01

You should find there "unit_sprites_nato.png", check the file content with any image software to see if you got the Modded one, if not then manually copy it there (there was maybe a problem with Mod download)
