Hi,

In spite of the promises made by developers, there is not yet a counter mod for this game.

If you are enough to say "yes" to this poll, i will try to made one like the others i've made before.

You can activate the unfinished unit counters by opening the console in the main menu and entering #counters on

Be warned though that there will still be glitches and bugs in the counter animations, but it will give you an idea of what we're trying to achieve.

Well, it's a good beginning...
I prefer counters to look more like modern paper's wargames (yours look too much like videogame's wargame from the 90' :wink: )

Now that I put in this cheat code, I am blocked with your counters. :cry:

What is the cheat code to deactivate them please ? (#counters off doesn't works)

WARNING

Be aware that if you activate the counters code adherbal give us, you cannot go back.
I have to re-install the game to return to a normal situation.

That's not cool :(

#counters off works fine for me. You do need to restart/reload the scenario if you're currently in one for this to take effect though.

Alternatively delete options.dat in the my documents/my games/oob-ww2/settings folder.

Ok,

Only 8 answers... It seems that not so many players are interrested to play with old school design.
I understand better why developers are not more urgent to create the counter's mod.

It is the reality that the players who like the boardgame's design are not so many ; it is sad, but that is the way it is ...

I am going to test this new DLC and if that really pleases me, I shall realize this mod for my personal use and shall share it with the community.

We'll try to allow dropping custom unit images into the game folders so you can have the counters look similar to your mod rather than the nato class icons we have now.

But as you know (perhaps only just) the demand for this is a niche within a niche so other things have taken priority. Right now, most of our time goes into skirmish mode. But finishing counters is still on the to-do list.

Bongo,

I like your work and it plays wel, I have missed this topic. But I have add my vote.

And I have turn #counters on and the way it's work is ok, a sober animation and the game itself look faster (short test).
