these symbols might be real symbols, but hard to memorize them all, no reason to memorize symbols, unless plan to become nato general, or watch war news

Many old school tabletop veterans would remember the Nato symbols were used way back in the day with Avalon Hill's Panzer Leader and Panzer Blitz.

I'm sure there's a few people floating around this forum that own one or two Gary Grigsby games. It's not hard to learn a new set of icons and there is a method to the madness. It look overwhelming because there's tons of combinations. But that's just it, they are combinations. You just have to learn the individual parts.

O = Armor/Tank
X = Infantry

O and X on top each other = Mechanized Infantry

I was playing as Hungray and I went fascist. My doctrine was Grand Battle Plan and defense in depth. I just made 25W leg infantry with medium artillery. I managed to get 1 Tiger tank division out and had like 400 heavy fighters leased from Germany to protect against bombers. Germany just invaded everyone historical but we never took the 3 major Soviet cities and the front collapsed and we all died.

I use NATO symbols because that's how it was back in HOI3. it was either NATO symbols or sprites and oh boy, were the symbols better.

I don't really get how it constitutes showing off though. It's a couple of symbols, pretty easy to learn especially if you've learnt how to play HOI4. Nothing to boast about.

This.

For those of us with bad knees, the NATO symbols might be the easier option. It is for me.

Getting old is rough.

I know them but I really dislike them aesthetically, I prefer the standard far more
