Hey PE. Did you ever get in contact with the game creator to see if it was okay to post these in the BGG file section or wherever?
I've not checked out any of his ground warfare solitaire games. Still haven't cut out the stuff for Thud Ridge, which is the only one I currently have. Not sure how I'll get on with it yet.
I've updated all counters and refined from the ones I created above. You can download the entire set from here:

I did get permission, however after I finished the set some of the images I used I could not verify authors so I cannot upload to BGG.. but I do have a link in the Hunter Over Korea forum to download them. I am working on combining them into one download like I did above.
I may work on Thud Ridge Next...

Wow those look great PE !
Isn't the usual spelling "Desantnik"? Or is it just a Lysdexia moment on my part?
Here are the re-worked Counters for Hunters Over Korea. I am working on the maps now, however not sure how long that will take.

Yep, you are correct... I will fix that.
Thanks,

I'm working on wargaming graphics for print myself this morning as well....it's *almost* as fun as actually playing the game(s). Great work here; very impressive!
Battleboard looks good. O0
I have now reworked the map for Operation Afghanistan....

soooo much better
Great work on these.
I've got Aces of Valor, and just grabbed the Roman conquest game, but I might have to get some of the ones you've improved.

Thanks, next on my list is Aces of Valor and either King Arthur or Heroes of Argos. I plan on upgrading all content as well.
Here is the Hunters Over Korea Map that is a Work in Progress to go with the Counter rework I have done.

I've started looking at the Aces of Valor counters.... just an initial workup:

I'm a bit of a top-down nut when it comes to aircraft on counters. When I saw the new side view ones in the Excalibre repring of Wings (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2742/wings), I could almost cry.
They did the same with their reprint of Panzer (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4288/panzer-first-edition) but doing so with vehicles doesn't seem quite so odd, despite the scale still requiring all the facing and angle calculations that made the side view on the aircraft look so weird in Wings.
Of course, the combat is abstracted in the ones you're working on, without facing requirements, so not as big a deal.
Just my preference when it comes to counters, anyway. Do you prefer side-view or top-view for aircraft and vehicle counters?

I am also working on some top down images as well.... but I initially worked on the side view. Once I have the top down worked out I will post back.

One other thing..
You have a Fokker D.VII pic on those counters, but it's listed as a Fokker D.VIII. Intentional? Does his WWI game include D.VIIIs? Those were barely around at the very end of the war and I'm not sure if they were even used operationally before the end (they were the mono-winged fugly ones).

You want to put these up for some proofreading when they're almost finalized PE? C:-)
Nice! Though I'll now have to make another copy of Aces of Valor :)
I really like the Argos one though, very thematic.
Love messing with print and play games so it's always nice to see this sort of thing.
Everything on this thread looks great! Are the links to the games? BGG links?

Berserker Games. The guy has some solitaire print & play games:
http://www.berserkergames.net/
The game info links go to the BGG entries last I looked. I only have
Thud Ridge but may eventually pick up the WWI air war one and maybe an ancients one depending on how much I enjoy TR.
Too little I formation aside from the title to get me intersed. They need to have more screens and examples of game mechanics.
