The Competition & Teaser Thread

Yeah, noticed that originally, but the images look identical to the one in the unit box so I would think they would be as sharp, but maybe smaller, so when blown up in David's pic to match the others the blurred. Maybe not, only the game will tell for sure.

Hi Guys,

The 2x unit counters were purely me increasing the size of counter by 200% in Photoshop for display purposes in this post. The 1x is the standard in game. I also took the screen shots on my 27" hi def (2560x1440) monitor and that may have skewed things as well.

As far as the counters they are on average 57 x 57 pixels and we can address 51 x 57 of that. That limits exactly how much detail we can get in the physical counter picture. I have experimented with a range of different methods for 'shrinking' graphics and this is the best I could get.


To help with comparisons I am posting three screen shots with actual graphics at normal size. This hopefully will show what they look like in game. Please note everything is not finalised and some placeholders may still be present.

NATO symbols (the text on counter here is only 5pts!)


If you haven't realised these are German (non SS) and Luftwaffe counters.



One other little tidbit is that certain unit types have a 'side stripe'. This was included in game to allow quicker identification in stacks. Yellow is Recon, Green is Engineer, Blue is Heavy Weapons (usually MG's) and Red is Indirect Fire (indirect artillery, mortars & rockets)

Hope that gives you a little more background on the counters.
