I did a few searches here and didn't see anything on this other than a question about the ACW. Are there any games that use only NATO style symbols? I'm getting sent over seas and would like to find a game that uses these symbols or even military maps, I could make my own "chits" and use old military maps to play. Thanks ahead of time! |

Is this what you are looking for:

They have boardgames, sort of. Played on a map with chits, some with nato symbols, some not. Edit- There are, of course, other makers and games, I just ran across this one in the past hour while looking up something else. |

That's close, looking for something I can play at brigade level. I want something like an army sand box, like the US army FBCB tracker for the table top. |

Any standard set of wargames rules which uses based elements can be played using counters marked up with NATO symbols instead. Something I often do when testing a new set of rules I don't have the toys for. Look out for Tom Mouats mapsymbols site which has TrueType fonts for both old and new NATO symbols. |

Having been a FBCB2/BFT FSR Martin is steering you right.

Nice, Thanks for supporting the equipment! FSR's don't get enough thank yous from the guys in green. I never thought about playing existing games with NATO markers. That'll make my life easier, I was going to put together my own rules set. |
