Question: what is the preferred size that you players like to see the counters in VASSAL modules? For mine, I've been using a 60x60 px counter because frankly, with a dual monitor set up with my primary screen having a resolution of 1600x1200, I like to be able to see the counters if I'm zoomed in all the way. I realize that this makes for some large counters for those with lower resolutions, so I've always been sure to add at least 4 levels of zoom - those guys can zoom out more than I can to see more board real estate.
Is 60x60 too large or ok?
I realize that this makes for larger file sizes since you have to have a larger map to accomodate those larger counters, however none of my modules have clocked in over 10mb (that I can think of) so I think it's possible to still have the larger counter/maps without having an overly bloated file size.
