Alt. 2D Symbols

Alt. 2D Symbols
Guys,

Am playing Overland and am having trouble distinguishing infantry and cav. in 2D view mode.

I see inf. and cav. have a slightly different icon in the left of counter. But it is far too small for me.

Had the same problem with Campaign Atlanta.

Was wondering if there are any moded alt. 2D symbols out there for the titles? Or a general one for all HPS/JTS ACW titles.

Cheers.

Spud.

Don't know about that, but in my 2d mode, Inf lines and columns are green and cav is yellow.

Have you tried to go through the 3rd Party Art Mods Forum section? If not, it can be found here:

The color of the unit on the counters should help you out.

Red = Artillery
Yellow = Cavalry
Green = Infantry

I can't remember if the stock version Overland uses Blue/Grey colored 2D counters or it uses the Blue/Butternut color. I like to use Blue/Butternut so I am not sure if I have altered my stock files or not.

In some 3rd party mods, you may see Blue used to represent Infantry instead of Green.

RE: Alt. 2D Symbols
Thanks guys.

I knew there be a simple explanation.

And what could be simpler than colors.

I have been playing a lot of HPS Napoleonic games recently and was getting my 2D counters all muddled-up.
