GREAT! Best to download the manual in CMFDR first post to compare the CM OFFICIAL Icon name(listed below) to what is in the manual.
If you can compare the names to the manual that would be great.
There are a lot of shared icons with Germans and Italians. What is listed below under the double line are the icon names that units have their own specific icon. Unlike Headquarters, Fog-of-War, Sniper or FORTRESS icons which both Germans and Italians units share and can't be modded for a specific country.

Never mind. User error. I had the Options folder in my Z folder, and it was interfering. Silly me. All is well.

Don't feel bad-I did the same thing. (NOTE to self read the README's
).
What I like about your mods Juju is you can mod and tweak it. It's almost a mini game in itself.
Lot of work is evident and Old World craftsmanship.

I looked for flamethrower-I don't recall one in the game now. But the next module should have one-so it's best to look to include it. In the mean time I did the RECON change you suggested. Inserted in the screenshots are pictures of the actual icons-since. As I have said FRAPs doesn't work well 'screenshotting' translucent. If I do say so myself-the tanks looks pretty darn close to the hand drawn ones in the manual you uploaded.

Thanks Juju!!! This release deserves a VICTORY PARADE.
American Army steals the show at 3:42

Reading some articles this week-these items well could be from a Russian contract fighter. I understand the Russians may be going that route since they they have to pay soldiers a lot to serve there anyway and Russian Army casualties are a sensitive subject at home.

Thanks! Really very pre-BETA right now. Will fix per your suggestion. I tried the GOOGLE translator-my own Italian is restricted to buying a train ticket or a meal-Good Morning-Goodbye-Taxi!. So I will go with what you have for recon. The symbol I had was pezzo per fanteria which translates to 'piece/ portion of infantry'. The Tankette and Mortar icons were easy to find and came out great. I'll try to whip a desktop shot on the icons themselves once its complete-hopefully in a week. FRAPS doesn't handle translucent graphics very well-even on pause. Depending how it turns it I will release it as a mod. But the translucent icons won't be red but egg shell blue like the German Icons.

This was good fun.
I got as close as I could with these 3 icons for INFANTRY, RECON ('portion of infantry' in Italian in the manual-nothing that freely translates to RECON) and MORTAR (Brixia in screen shot)
I'm using a Blue Icon set for the Axis from someone-but modified the Italians as red. HQ's is a shared icon for Germans and Italians so it will always be blue-looks white in the screenshot but really is an eggshell blue.
Using Greenfish Icon Editor Pro to make the translucent icons-one looks faded in the screen shot-but really is quite vibrant and distinct. (FRAPS really muddys out the icon.) Select the icons and it's yellow background per the original icon set.

Oh MAN! A MILLION thanks
-I was looking for reference just like that this week! All I could find was modern NATO and WWII American and German symbols. Downloaded and archived!
-
Okay-Thanks, Mikey D.
As an aside I remember in the original Panzer Elite they had one graphic (where you chose your unit makeup) that showed an M-10 TD with what looked like a huge outdoor folding umbrella for shelter over the turret.
-
Haven't seen pictures on tanks except mounted-were they brought in by support units before battle?
-
Very IMPRESSED!

Your snow effect looks good. I can understand your trepidation Umlaut on modding. Incidentally I have your mods and in other CM games. But yeah modding and playing you got to strike a balance. Modding can be a monster on your back.
Your probably like me-you like to explore the files and see what you can do-but at the same time just PLAY and ENJOY the game.
I tried my own experiments with a snow effect on vehicles. It's tough-snow isn't easy. Is there a specific brush or a combination of brushes... don't know.

String from 2012 when I was exploring flavor objects into CM FI. Puzzle Palace back then. Simple now. Modding is like being a druggie. FWIW

I'm with Vladimir on this-doesn't look like FO gear. In fact it looks pretty sparse compared to what some Somali took off a dead French operator in a rescue attempt that went bad about 2 year ago. Or maybe we haven't been shown all that was recovered. Plus the Russians said the FO called in strikes on his position-so everything here doesn't look in bad condition. FWIW.

Enjoy the string. I've been there.

German Gear, US Gear, goaway surrender, Veins explosions, Veins small arms muzzle flash, Veins tank muzzle flash are what I am using from Normandy

Looks great
Thanks for the work!

I think it depends on the vehicle. But I never go slow. Nor do I carry men on the men when I'm in snow. With armored cars and tanks it seems I bog more going slow.

haha - some may think Juju is a drug dealer!
Why not call it early access? ;-)
For now we just have Juju Bones 2016
Battlefront should have some tie in with Osprey with Juju as the artist. Win -Win-Win for everyone. Battlefront advertises Osprey through it's graphics, Osprey (or military miniature company) gets exposure and Juju gets more exposure as a game feature designer. Might be a bit of gelt for some people. I tell you it could be Big!
A game company could make some money-through subtle advertising of military 'stuff'.

"Hey Mac which way to Ike's Command Post? You got any Lucky Strikes?"
"Yeah I got some Luckies-but first you got to tell me who plays 3rd base for the Brooklyn Dodgers."
Yes you can use US icons for the Captured US vehicles-but screen shot below you also have to mod the icons for drivers etc. No biggee. Just a copy and paste / renaming exercise. My icon set is a mod-soup so it's nothing I'm releasing. This is just a road map saying it can be done. Any icon set for Final Blitzkrieg has to have this mod. It's late-I'm off to bed.
-
Yeah I think it can be done. And where do you find the 'traitor ' American vehicles/unit icons? In the US icon file at the bottom hahaha. Oh looky here all kinds of evil
Explode final blitzkrieg v100a.
Moderators if you want to transfer to MOD Forum please do. It's late and I posted in wrong forum.

Depends how the first one turns out-but yes I can do that. Right now if I can get the right translation mated up with an icon we are good to go. So - Yes if I can get the translucent ones done that I am working on now. I can get the geometric ones done to-will take a little more work since you don't want a hand drawn quality.
I'm pretty new with Greenfish Icon Editor Pro -but every time I use it I have learned something. Lets say we are the STEAM Early Access stage rather then BETA HAHAHAHAHA. The tank icons may look rough exploded (i.e. 'hand drawn' like the actual symbols)-but in game they are smooth-but I want the lines a little fatter on the tanks. Accomplished a lot in 24 hrs. First couple are experiments-once it's down then it's just cookie cutting or making sausages. Fog of War and Defensive Icons you can't change since Germans and Italians share those icons. In your chart only INFANTRY and SUPPORT and VEHICLES need to be changed in ANY ICON set.
Got the colors I want.
