@elessar2590 – Dude, do you have any idea how much it warms my heart to see someone else making modern Valor & Victory counters? How awesome is that?

I know you said you weren’t that serious about gaming with these, but just in case …

Consider muting the contrast / saturation of the background camouflage. This is the classic bane of camouflage in wargaming – by the time it’s “accurate” … it’s actually doing it’s job of making it hard to see the actual object.

Does the GIMPY free source have some kind of “stroke” option? This is the white outline you see around the figures on all my counters and also the original V&V counters by Barry Doyle. Again, it helps the figures stand out more.

If you want, we can take a look at designing these one weekend in Photoshop in a live stream or a web conference, or even use them in a battle one of these days.

Great work!
