I love it! I'm one of those weirdos who just cant adjust to using the unit pictures like everyone does on the AAR section. I agree they look kinda cool. But it can get confusing with all the plane pictures changing all the time, and the naval units are hard to distinguish from one another at first glance. I'm used to playing board games like Fortress Europa from Avalon Hill, so I gotta have my counters. These look really nice.

I have edited the last NATO counters added in GS so they are a definitely playable counters as you all can see on the screenshot below:

This screenshoot gives an idea of the new look of CEAW with the new counters but until you have installed them on your computer you won´t realize how nice they look in CEAW!

Naval units are to scale so you won´t see any more destroyers with the same length than battleships nor huge submarines. The same can be said, more or less, about air units.

You can fairly distinguish between battleships and carriers since these last ones have a Seafire on the up-left corner of the counter of the UK carrier and a Wildcat on the counter of the US carrier. And you can also distinguish destroyers from submarines since these last ones have 3 subs on the counter and the destroyers have 2 destroyers on the counter.

In respect with land units they have the symbols corresponding to each kind of land unit. Since garrison units are considered in GS not only a garrison unit (they can be transported by sea) but also a lower level than infantry corps sized unit (division) they have a division symbol and their infantry symbol is visibly smaller than the infantry corps one:

You can download them directly from this: Download image (3D).rar from FileFactory.com or from this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VL3D8OEU

You can also dowload from modders section: viewtopic.php?p=164012#164012

You just have to unzip the file and then just copy and paste them replacing the old ones in the unit subfolder of the image folder in CEAW.

Enjoy!

Lovely mod, Grand Strategy now feels more strategic.

Will you also make counters for the new amph units?

This counters are actually great at zoom in and medium zoom, but at maximum zoom out they hardly can be distinguished one from another. Maybe its possible to return original ones to this map mode?

The original ones do not match at all with this new 3D counters, so I don´t think is a good idea. Anyway, at maximum zoom out is not so bad to distinguish one from another: you have to keep in mind that each country has a specific counter and you have to familiarize yourself with each country counter.

Does it happen with 2D or 3D counter mod?

I have checked it on my computer for several times and this do not happen to me. Anyway, sometimes in CEAW, this disappearance of units happens frecuently. This had happened to me even without the counter mod: one unit shows only the country id and strength. Normally, when this happens to me I usually go with the cursor to the disappeared unit and she comes back. This the only trick that works fine with me.

I usually use zoom in and zoom out again to refresh the map. I think this has something to do with Java

A new addition will be done to the mod: counters units with a commander assigned won´t show any more a face but a Headquarters symbol (HQ). Every country has a commander (e.g. for UK is Montgomery) that it is showed in all commanders units. This way, we won´t see the face of a commander that does not correspond with the real.

This is how it will look:
