Better still would be to get the names right.I wish similar care was taken for other nationalities....
Rommel was a Field Marshal. So was Göring. Kesselring. Keitel. No one would add "von" to their names.I have a suspicion that some people were of the opinion that you couldn't be promoted to Field Marshal if you didn't have "von" in your name.
Cheers. Thanks for that post. That was done deliberately. Andy Rogers (Hatten designer)Hatten in Flames has several leaders with names of officers who actually fought there.
I'm pretty sure "hongkongwargamer" won't fit on a 1/2" counter.Alright - I won't lie - all I care about is having MY name on a leader counter.
Still very uneven treatment, few additions to German OB but many to Soviet oneI wish similar care was taken for other nationalities....
"Sgt Armstrong" won't either, hence my counter at left.I'm pretty sure "hongkongwargamer" won't fit on a 1/2" counter.
He kept the ROAR record for all battles fought by the Red Army. Very important work for future wars.von VanMechelenov is also real. Just not a field marshal.

I'm just becoming re-acquainted with VASL after several years, and I didn't realize that you could 'name' the SMC counters. Could you tell me how you can do this within the VASL program, and is it possible to add ID letters to MMC's, Guns, Vehicles as well?When I name leaders on VASL, I google the first names of their nationality.
There are lists for all of them.
With cardboard, I rarely select leaders which name doesn't match their nationality, but if a leader has the name of a designer and it corresponds with the nationality (e.g. US Sgt Nixon or Axis Minor Martuzas) I don't mind.
Ctrl-L or right click and pick "Label"...I'm just becoming re-acquainted with VASL after several years, and I didn't realize that you could 'name' the SMC counters. Could you tell me how you can do this within the VASL program, and is it possible to add ID letters to MMC's, Guns, Vehicles as well?

To have a leader name appear ON the counter (like reality), as opposed to ON THE TOP EDGE of the counter, use Ctrl-N.I'm just becoming re-acquainted with VASL after several years, and I didn't realize that you could 'name' the SMC counters.

Oh noes! The "reality" argument is being used in ASL!!!!!!! ?To have a leader name appear ON the counter (like reality), as opposed to ON THE TOP EDGE of the counter, use Ctrl-N.
In case you have not noticed: Note, that you can also use Berserk or Fanatic flags on the left side of the counter. Nice feature which reduces counter clutter and works well.I'm just becoming re-acquainted with VASL after several years, and I didn't realize that you could 'name' the SMC counters.
