2d Unit Icon Mod

Very nice work.  

I really like what you did with line and column formations.

My only reservation is with the supply wagons.  My problem with the supply wagons is that I'm not convinced that they actually existed as a feature of Napoleonic battlefields.  I believe they're an artifact of a misplaced bright idea someone at Talonsoft had when the series first started.  If memory serves the original Gettysburg game pre-dated the Waterloo game, and the wagons were in Gettysburg because someone had been reading about Islandhwana.  While they're appropriate for the mid-19th century, I've yet to see any evidence that they were a feature of Napoleonic battlefields.  That being the case, I'd prefer a symbol that drew less attention to itself.  Abstract symbols do a better job of that that images of wagons.

I'd be curious to see what your artillery looks like when it's set on the diagonal if you happen to have a screenshot lying around.

Thanks, much appreciated.   I do see what you're saying about the wagons particularly given how the other unit formations are a bit more symbolic.   But I'm used to it at this point and there aren't so many as to clutter up the games.  Really, having played so many games with this look to them, I can't even look at the default counters anymore for any of the formations.   It's all what you're used to I guess.  

For how the arty looks on the diagonal, if you just click my file at the bottom of the first post, you can see it along with all of the other formations.   

I really wish they could up the graphic resolution to these games.   Stunning counters and maps could be done that would make the games that much more enjoyable. 

Best,

Matt
