NATO Symbols for War Games - 05/24/15 05:17 AM

Does any know where I can get a downloadable table of symbols for use in war games?
I would like to select the NATO symbol option to learn those symbols since they are used in a number of war games.

Look for FM 1-02 (for example here: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/), or MIL-STD 2525C, or APP-6A. I forgot which is what, FM and MIL-STD is US military, and APP-6A is NATO, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, they are the same.

Thanks for the link and search terms. I have a lot of PDF's now ranging from 400 to over 1000 pages in length.

Most articles are very comprehensive. I will keep searching to try and find a simplified version for use in war games. But I now now how to search for them.

Thanks for your help.

Ah, you mean just basic paraphrasing of these standards? Take a look at these:
