I very much agree that using letters that appear nowhere in the word or words is alittle insane. The Navy being the biggest offender. I mean look at them top to bottom BB (battleship) CV (Aircraft Carrier) CA (Cruiser) CL (Light Cruiser) DD (Destroyer) SS (Submarine) AP (Transport) and even PT (Torpedo Boat) not one of them fit. I’m a much bigger fan of short hand like Inf. Art. Fig. Bmb.
Precisely.
a 3 letter acronym system is superior. :)

I go for being practical: using an already established system beats having to reinvent the wheel.
A few missing/typos:
IC - Industrial Complex
KBF- Kill Britain First
KIF - Kill Italy First
It’s only established for a few players, like the folks on this forum. However, newer players are not familiar with it.

Some terms are pretty much established with the A&A community, I’d say, like KGF, OOB, etc., since their use started with Classic.
For newer players it is also better to use the US Navy system because if they know any system then that would most likely be it.
And I’m not a US citizen so I don’t really mind whether the Army or the Navy rules :)
My hope is to have a source where someone reading the boards would see something they don’t know what it means check here and go back to reading. I’m not trying to standardize the lang. at all
Thank you Hobbes for your help and the list is updated.
All those Acronyms are spot on. They are the most common ways to make notation of games easier.

I thought “maybe” was “buy me another drink”
Maybe could a moderator please put this thread as sticky? Thank you
ok done. But know we got two threads like this…
this one is in player help the other one is in the wrong place.

Thanks IL. I think the other one was in a specific game subforum it wasn’t easy to find but Yavid’s seems more complete. Maybe we could just compile all info on one of them.

When I did my list I started with the info on the other list. Aside from the stuff in there that’s short-hand I should have it all already.
