Anyone know where I can get military mapping symbols as clip art? online? free? What does this have to do with miniatures? Well, it's for a campaign idea I have. Sort of. |

Corel Draw always used to have the complete NATO set when I last used it. They're pretty easy to make using Powerpoint (utilising the 'Snap To Grid', 'Group' and line-drawing functions). |

Do you mean the symbols for regiments and such or the actual picture of a tank or fighter aircraft? If the latter, then check out the Zapfwingbats font that is part of the windows install. |

There are free fonts that have the symbols. My guess is, do a google search for free military fonts and you will find them. |

Not TrueType, but here's some good references on NATO unit symbols: link link There was on online utility for making your own unit symbols; I'll dig around and see if I can find it anywhere. |

I have collected some guides to actual WWII symbology if that would help; fairly small so I could e-mail them. |

Lentulus: no, thanks. I pretty much know what they look like. I just want some I can cut and paste on my computer. |
