New Unit Icons ????

[rdcotton]

Are there any mods out there that change the unit icons to something along the standard military symbols? i.e. the X in a box for infantry ... the ellipse in a box for armor etc, etc.

If not ... has anyone made a list of which SHP files belong to which units.

Thanks,

Ray

Are you nuts?

You would rather see an ellipse than a Firefly or a T-34?

RD,you cannot be serious ?..SPWAW is basically a video version of "miniatures" played on real roads and real forests,etc...
Would you be content to push cardboard counters around a sand table with metal miniatures on the shelf right behind you??[&:]

Ray besides all the shock horror etc from others what you mention is possible.
There though is a problem with the idea, namely the way the unit icons are structured and stored.
As an example a tank is actually 2 seperate graphics, the hull is one graphic and the turret is another. Also there are a few more complex issues just with troops.

The other problem would be making sure which side was red and which was blue. Could cause an argument.

As its not a straight forward simple process I doubt anyone would dash off and start doing it.

Yes, these are the problems, although I find the idea not that bad actually. ...just does not work.

ray if you really need to use NATO symbols then the best game is "BCT Commander" at http://www.shrapnelgames.com/prosim/bct_commander/1.htm

The games are different in style and approach.
