The only reason to use this mod is that you like to use NATO military counters exclusively in all your ATG random games (solitaire and multiplayer) but some of your multiplayer opponents do not. If this does not describe you, you should install my other NATO Counters MOD.

Install File Method (any ATG version):

Turn regular counters into NATO counters:
regTOnato (overwrites your regular unit counters)
regTOnatoUZ (w/unit size designations <-- screenshot) (updated 3/26/13 - previous file was not correct)

Turn NATO counters back into regular counters
natoTOreg (puts the regular unit counters back)

This mod will have no affect on other players. Use the ATG "install zip/file" button to install. I'd recommend you keep both files available for use.

Note 1: If you have customized regular counters, then you should back them up first before changing them.

Note 2: Even with this mod, to have large NATO counters in "Zoomed In" mode as depicted below requires a change to the generic.at2/anewdawn.at2 file. If you are comfortable with the editor it is Setng->RuleVars->Engine Graphics->871 -> change value to 0 and save. This will give you large and standard size NATO counters.

Manual Method removed 3/26/13 - use the above install method.

Status: offline 		As I mentioned in my edited post at the top, I'm working on a method that will not involve copying over existing files and will give the gamer the option at game start up to choose standard game play or game play with NATO counters. This will result in a zip file that you can use the "Install File/Zip" button to install. No manual intervention required. Not sure when I'll have it ready.

Status: offline 		Hi - I installed the mod. It works fine for a random scenario - however when I try to load the "\Advanced Tactics Gold\atgoldscenarios\NEW_WAW_PUBLIC_BETA" East Front 1941 scenario it still uses the old non-nato counters (really why the heck did Vic not build in a NATO counter option? It's amazing he didn't).

Any idea how to change counters for this scenario?

Thx

Status: offline 		Custom scenarios can and often do include their own unit counter sets, and even if that counter set is the default one it must be pulling it from another location (likely within the systemgraphics folder). If so, probably with some additional overwriting in another folder or two, it might be accomplished. I'll look into it.

On another note, I'll probably published my auto install NATO counters mod later today in the Mod and Scenarios forum. This mod does not involve overwriting existing files and will give you the option at game startup to use the default counters or the NATO counters.
