NATO unit symbols

Good idea, you mean little rectangles with an X for infantry and so on?

yeah. good idea. maybe you could decide for yourself in the generel game setttings if you want standard or nato.

Yeah, that would be good. Most people don't know the symbols, and I can only remember the infantry one right now.

indeed. the most commonly known are infantry, tanks and arty. i neither remember more.

I'd like to NATO ones, its what I'm most used to seeing in books and such.

lookie here

Yeah, I think they are the ones most people know anyway. They are the ones you use in HoI 3, right?

I was recently looking through some of my old mans paper work from when he served, mostly refresher stuff and what not, and it had a section on the NATO battle symbols.

This got me thinking, these low graphic boxes would be perfect for people who have a choppy internet connection, and they'd make me feel even more like a baby Rommel.

Thoughts?

That brings back memories of playing the old Avalon Hill war games 30+ years ago, which were about the most sophisticated board games you could play before the advent of high-quality computer war games and the internet. Avalon Hill used all of the standard armor, infantry and aircraft symbols on their little unit game tiles, with a given number of x's to represent unit size (battalion, regiment, division, etc.). I believe that was all standard army notation at one point; may still be. (Indeed, a quick internet search indicates these simple graphics remain the basis of U.S. Army and NATO unit symbology.)
