Unit Abreviations

And it’s AP, not TT, if you want to be comply with historic nomenclature.  It’s only TT if you’re going by DD, BB, SS as a template and don’t know why it’s not TT.

Complete list of pieces now would be…

BB - Battleship
CA - Cruiser
CV - Carrier
DD - Destroyer
SS - Submarine
AP - Transport (Auxiliary - Personnel in case you’re curious)

Official acronyms break down once you’re out of naval…

Inf
Art
Mech
Armor
AA Art

Fig
Tac
Strat

Use a universal 3 letter system.

It is far superior, and people will understand it.

You won;t have people asking where the A in Cruiser is, or the second B in Battleship.

Thanks Kcdzim. I will continue to call a Transport a TT, because it is easy and I do not learn new tricks easily.
Garg: I like 2 letters! (Sorry).

BB - Battleship
CA - Cruiser
CV - Carrier
DD - Destroyer
SS - Submarine
AP - Transport (Auxiliary - Personnel in case you’re curious)

Official acronyms break down once you’re out of naval….

Inf
Art
Mech
Armor
AA Art

Fig
Tac
Strat

This is pretty much the standard list used by 99.9999% ( Villains and 2nd graders being the sole exception).

I would use Tank due to that is another letter lost. It’s better to get educated and use the standard NAVY acronyms. Takes like 10 seconds to commit to memory.

Here is how we have done our abreviations…

And before anyone points out that a few of the naval abbreviations are wrong… I know.  We are changing them already.

If you are adamant that you want to use the naval system, then may I reccomend that you use a 3 letter system for the non naval elements remaining?  that way if it’s a boat, it’s 2 letters, if its ground or air you use 3 letters.  And it all looks good.

BB
CA
CV
bla bla

INF
ART
AAA
MEC
ARM
FIG
TAC
BOM

That way it makes sense, and looks good enough.

I’ve used FTR for fighters.  FIG is stuck in my head as “Figure”.

Everything you post you entertain us [Edited by GG]

I don’t know how either of the two previously edited sections added anything to this thread! Please keep to topic.

GG

Thank you sir. I wish action could take place as soon as the first post is created, rather than the second.

Villains and 2nd graders being the sole exception

Thats a great point IL.

Why don’t you look at the provocation (by yourself) just above the first edit.

I did so this stands>
