Mate, this is gorgeous. It's inspired me to play around too. Specifically the individualized HQ names on the counters.

I assume you're creating copies of the standard HQ icon then customizing and renaming to individual unit names - but which file do you then manipulate to get them "linked" in-game?

All links are done with the unit Id found in OoB files and scenarios. You can easily rename a counter for a given unit if it is associated with the corresponding Id in OoB file. Then you only have to check that the name of the counter in « units » is the same as the one in OoB.
If you want to add new units - for example a new general with a new name replacing a division commander at a given date - then you have to check that the new Id in OoB is not used yet.
And you ´ll also need to check that the new Id is activated in all scenario files where this new general is supposed to play a role.
Fortunately enough, links are done thanks to numerical Id’s and not text & unit names , so this is definitely great for mods to be designed.

Another possible thing for leaders is to graphically add the general’s name on the snippet, then you don’t need to rename the counter and modify anything else in the game. This is a quick and dirty way to fix when a general’s name is wrong , it sometimes happens. The cleaner way is of course to proceed as aforementioned with a new général counter + name + numerical Id in OoB file(s).
