Desciption on how to modify Nationc.wsp (The same procedure applies to other .wsp files aswell)

The nationc.wsp only holds 3 sprites and the dump_wsp utillity will tell you what their size is when you unpack the file. 
The map icons (airfields) are in there. 
The other nationt.wsp and nationw hold the same icons for the briefing/mission screens, 
so you may need to look at those too.

For graphics I use PaintShop Pro 7.04


from raw format:
size 21x13
Three channel RGB
Planar (RRR GGG...)
Order RGB

change to 256 cols

load the map.pal palette (that is the palette from the screen the sprites occurs in)

modify picture

Note color index 0 (0,0,0) black appears transparent on the screen.

Save as raw

Use command:
ptch_wsp nationc.wsp <index> picname.raw 21 13

put the nationc.wsp in the Main EAW folder

index: 
0  US
1  GB
2  DE


Thanks to VonBeerhofen for info about this.

Some palette problems fixed.
Added 2 more iconsets
The briefing map and the "big map" did not use the same palette,
although some color ranges were the same in both palettes.
Altered the colors to use the same index.
