Thanks for taking the time to put this together to show off more new stuff. It was very entertaining, and well put together.
To be honest I would have rather liked to see Bil on defense for a change since he attacked too in the AAR against NormalDude. If you do another one in the future Bil please play defense for a change.

For FoW I would prefer all heavy weapons show as their icon as spotted, and the inclusion of the MG FoW icon in elite. The reason why is it just saves having to click on that enemy icon which shows it in the center GUI panel anyways. Other than that I like the new elite better now as it shows the ATG icon instead of generic infantry. Basicly I would like MG's, and mortar to show like ATG guns do now in elite.

I just updated the mod to include all the alternate shapes I experimented with such as pentagon. Also, I included two more arrow styles that are extra thick bright, and faded. The latest is up at GaJ's, and should be up at repository soon.

Works with all CM games.

Do we need this version for CMFI or will it work for CMBN as well?
There is only one version that will work with all CM games. I uploaded the same file to both CMFI, and CMBN not knowing where people are looking for their mods as there is no general place for mods that work with more than one CM game.

Looks like an improvement
Will it work in CMBN?
It works with all CMx2 games. I uploaded to few places because i am not sure who looks where for mods, and there is no single reopostory catigory for mods that work with more than one game.

Nice to have new options. Thanks...
One of the biggest problems (often) is actually locating WIA and KIA men so to give buddy aid (or grab weapons). Any way to get WIA and KIA bases flash or more visible?
I'm using the big red cross for WIA, which works for me. If you want something that I think pops up out more for WIA then I recommend getting Bil's mod to get that icon he made which is red circle with white cross. He also has a more visible casualty cross. For KIA I’m using big dark red skull-n-cross bones. For brighter try the high vis one’s on the repository (sorry author escapes me at moment) You can get those icons if you like, and make your own custom set such as Arrows (green& yellow), Bil’s WIA (red), and High vis KIA (dark red).
Speaking of options I did experiment with various other shapes that I can repackage into the zip if anyone is interested in trying. They include a bright pentagon, bright hexagon, bright hollow bullet, and bright solid bullet. Of all I liked the arrow the best, but some others may prefer the experimental other ones I made. Anyone want to try these too? I suppose I did not include originally to keep it more simple with what I felt was the best one I made.

Up at GaJ's, should be at repository soon. Improves function while eliminating the need for the base graphic under the unit. I think you will like.

I just uploaded at GaJ's, and should be in repository soon. This is another one of those mods I think you will find practical.

Yes, Erwin these are the same.

Bil, I have meaning to ask what casualty cross mod are you using wiith the white cross in the red circle?

Using just the tan FoW icons from the mod along with stock icons:
They can be used with any other icon mods such as Juju's, or Wolfe's grey/green geometric icons.

With optional tan Fow icons:

Glad it helps. Here are some combination previews:

It's up at GaJ's, and should be up at repository soon. I improved the tan FoW color. Even if one does not like the red/blue combo you can see how the tan FoW icons filter to make spotted pop out here shown with stock icons.

Thanks mj! Info sent in a PM to you.

I use them as spotters, and scouts. I have found XOs make great scouts too. Being officers they spot realy well.

Way to hang in there GaJ, and thanks for the time you put into this. Despite not coming out the victor I think you kept things in perspective. It takes balls to put it out in public, which has earned you the respect of the community. Also, I would like to personally thank you for all the support you have given to our colony of grogs with your fine mod warehouse site. Good job! I think you will come out of this a better player.
