Goodie presented; help sought

[John Kettler]

MajorH and Troops,

Found this while searching online, thus far in vain, for standard Soviet tactical symbology to help me decipher a Kursk defensive layout someone posted on CMBB for the 375th ID. Evidently part of a much bigger effort, the link seems to offer a wealth of things pertinent to this game.

Am still trying to find that symbol list. Can any of you help?

Regards,

John Kettler

Is that a WW2-era map or a modern map?

[John Kettler]

James Sterrett,

Am looking for a WW 2 symbol key. Judging from what

I found in a few of my old unclassified DIA pubs, the modern ones exhibit lots of carryover from the earlier ones.

Regards,

John Kettler

I'll see if I can find the WW2 symbology key I have.

Also try these - the articles on the OMG by Bogdan Swita have some notes on

Soviet map symbols and can be downloaded - Military Review is available online in PDF.

Two sets of directions follow...

The Big Link method, to the search results - this may not work! --

The follow-the-breadcrumbs method:

Use this link:

http://www.leavenworth.army.mil/milrev/

Select "Past Editions" from the list near the top.

Wait.

Select "Filerooms" and tick the box for Military Review English

Edition; then click "Query".

Wait.

Type in "Swita OMG", hit enter, and wait.

The first two results should be Swita's OMG in the Defence and OMG in

the Offence.

You'll need something that reads a PDF file to view them.
