On this image, the orientation of the counters does not seem to rest of problems :

This mod has renewed my interest in the game, as I was uncomfortable with the 3D graphics plus I love the board games. How am I supposed to launch it? After installing the mod, my splash screen looks like on the screenshot below, but when I click on it, I'm redirected to the original game.

This image (click to expand it) shows the procedure; from the downloaded zip file, to the file opened in your zip program, to where the mod folder gets extracted in your Documents/Games/OOB/mods folder:

The next time you start OOB, you will see this dual screen offering either the original game or the Boardgame Counter Mod:

I like this and I see myself using it selectively for specific player made scenarios. The official ones being designed for the models. For example, if Erik were to complete a single player Market Garden, an absolute historical classic campaign, I've a feeling I may go for the NATO counters just to go all-in on the historical immersion. Nice work.

Great job. I hope day day comes included in the game.
Is it the most recent version?

Is this Counter Mod still compatible with the last version of the game ?

[calmhatchery]

Working but YOu can't use the HD Resolution.

Working but YOu can't use the HD Resolution.

Why ?

PS: I will probably order a 4K PC screen during the weekend.

You won't regret it. Once you've gone and seen 4K, there's no going back...

As a former Avalon Hill player I'm looking forward to trying this mod. Assuming it still works for the current version

Will it pick up my saved games data that I am currently playing or do I need to move/copy files around?

Cheers JTF

There is very little hope of having a correct Counter MOD...

Last year I tried asking the creator for permission for using his 3d models for counters, but he never replied. I'm making a mod that uses counters of all kinds, but it's a total conversion. It wouldn't be too hard to make a working Counter mod for the vanilla game, as long as the player is ok with generic counters and not "personalized" ones (ie not a counter for every single unit, but rather have the classic infantry/marines/para/tank/AA/arty/etc counters).

Hi,
Sorry for the late response, but it's been a long time since I've been on the Slitherine forum.
Of course you can use my mod files without any restriction from me.
For me, the principle of modding is that it's free access.
If you need the source files, don't hesitate to ask me for them.
Good luck for your mod.

Thanks mate!

[terminator]

Instead of taking profile images especially for the boats, perhaps it would have been better to take a high view for the units ?
Example with Operation Citadel wargame (only infantry are in profile):

Hi Maitrebongo,

Which source files ? Other files than the files already present in the Mod ?

[Catch21]

This mod works great, though the facings are as though you were playing an old boardgame versus a tabletop opponent. Takes me back a few years...

Thanks!
