I had that problem, there is a better tool for unpacking/repacking TGA's from dat files. Timetraveller's tools are great, but his unpacker can only pack TGA's back in if NOTHING has changed, (for example file size or anything changes, you can't put it back).
You need the Pak file extractor for Chessmaster tile sets, it's apparently the tool they used making this game, from what I gather.
You can find a link to DatTexExtract, the program I mentioned, in this thread at the Ubi forums, you'll find it near the bottom of the first page of this thread:

The tool is awesome, using it I've reskinned my XXI, and am in the process of fine tuning a few skins for it. (Military colors, deck gray/dark gray bottom is my current favorite).
Good luck!
