yes, in my haste to post that, didnt have alot of time to really clarify things.

Yes, you must include the (ger) in the icon name, both in the uniticon name and in the breed

so for me it reads like

cole(can)_00 (can) because I added in a "Canadian" army.

So you you, itd be like

smg(ger)_00

in the soldier breed file it would simply read

{icon "smg(ger)"}
{portrait "portrait_name"}

Yes, you can do the same for tanks, just that vehicles do not need the nationality.

The vehicle icon name must match the name of the vehicle's entity file name

so if in the name of the vehicle's entity file reads(in my case)

KV7D_Bladefire

I must name my unit_icon

KV7D_Bladefire_00 and on down the list 01, 02, 03

its best if you make a short name for your unit_icon, it simply makes it faster...
