    • NATO unit symbols

      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.)
