Map Mod 2d

RE: Map Mod 2d
Thanks ,they are pretty basic.

I have an idea for a change to the 2D Counter Graphics as well (Edit 1 maybe) -might even have a go with the 3D in a similar vein (Edit 2 maybe). The infantry groups of 2 or 3 men look cool ,but they seem really close together -which makes it hard to differentiate them from a distance ,with my eyes anyway. I was thinking of increasing the spread between these infantry men ,so that they clearly stand out individually. Only problem with this approach ,maybe ,is in 2D mode if Counter Stats are used my picture edit may interfere with reading Stats. Won't effect me since I don't like Stats on Counters whilst in game.

Had another idea as well -just for the 3D Counters. Edit 3 maybe. I noticed the infantry is positioned high on these counters which means part of their Upper Torsos/Guns is projecting off the Round Counter. If they were positioned lower they would be completely encompassed by the counter and thus more contrast would be shown .That is they would stand out more .As is the underlying terrain behind/underneath them can obscure their upper torso/guns.

Another idea again (Edit 4 maybe) ,do Faces/Upper Torsos for the Infantry in 2D Counters ,similarly to how the JTS Squad Battles are done -I think this could look really cool .Won't be able to see their weapons though and only 1 picture rather than 3 Infantry Men.

Have not started on any of these 4 edits yet and edit 2 and edit 3 could slightly conflict.

At present ,only played a few hours -have used 2D Mode (Zoomed ) to do most actions ,for Arty used next 2D Zoom mode ,to get more distance .And for Enemy Turn ,swapped to 3D Close to see the Enemy Action. This gives a bit of visual variety for gameplay and is functional as well.
