I like silhouettes, but I cannot get past soldiers facing the wrong way... somehow vehicles don't bother me that much.

ACW has silhouettes which can change facing, one of my favorite visual options. But SB ignores facing for infantry.

You mean like this?
There are six sides I can use but for now I'm using left or right for the vehicles with directional arrows (see updated post). The infantry I'm using now use NATO symbols so won't matter?
The silhouettes were a quick test but I have six possible sides I can use. Not sure where this will go. NATO symbols are much easier and I like easy. I guess I could use directional arrows for the infantry as well.

Exactly! (I keep forgetting 3D mode does support infantry facing)
Another cool thing is you can adjust the silhouettes to reflect the weapon being used (e.g. snipers, mortars, etc). However I wouldn't bother with the directional arrows as they serve no real purpose...

Thanks.
I'm about 90% done Red Star over Europe but might put it on hold until the new update comes out.

Version 3 added for SB 4.01 and up.
WIP as always. This will be another 2 year project I think.
AOTR chits added as well.

Thanks gents.

@Xerxes77. Silhouettes have been done for a while but I won't post. Too many variations between titles. Especially heavy weapons.
Like I said before. I like easy. NATO symbols are easy and work fine for now.
