    Default [HoI3] Sprites or Counters?

    Which do you prefer?
    According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

    Currently sprites. You get most of the information you need when you're zoomed out far enough anyway

    Sprites but that may be becuase I played EU3 and not HOI II, so i don't understand counters by looking at them

    ive always liked sprites more and since you can see counters when zoomed out you get best of both worlds.
    You look great today.

    Definitely counters. I was in the Army a quarter century ago, and that's what we used on maps. Before that, I played a lot of Avalon Hill wargames (still have them in my library!) and they all used counters.

    i leave sprites on since counters go automatic when you zoom out. There is no reason to not to use sprites since you need to zoom that far out to play this really.

    It would be good if there was a way of having sprites for aircraft and ships, but counters for land units.
