Seems like a good plan.

Oh, and remember that the shadows should be semi-transparent, IIRC. I can't really tell if your's are or not.

If I remember correctly.

Just so you know there's a wiki page with acronyms listed. I'll link it in an edit.

EDIT: True to my word. :D

So do I. I'm not really sure why I didn't this time.

France
I like the Somua, however the fusilier has a protrusion on his gun, and it's unclear as to what it is, whilst the anti-tank gun is a little vague.
This is why I generally just write them out in full.

So do I. I'm not really sure why I didn't this time.
Well, the point of having an acronym is so you don't have to write it out in full. It kind of defeats the object of having an acronym.

In din of crowded streets, going among the years, the faces,
May I still meet my memory in so lonely a place
Between the streams and the red clouds, hearing the curlews, Hearing the horizons endure.

So the point of an acronym is to be lazy? :P

Just so you know, Lieutenant isn't spelled 'Leutnant'. Unless that's German...

Also, you might want to consider having the faction names look something like this "Deutsches Reich (Germans)" to increase simplicity. Not everyone will know what the faction names mean, considering the vast amount of people that play BfW. :D

Thanks for your hints!
I know that Lieutenant isnt Leutnant. "Leutnant" is a german grade with superior meaning than the "Lieutenant".
Nobody tells me, that he couldnt understand the faction names. As a consequence I guess all users know which faction is meant. ^_^

Yeah, that faction names shouldn't be a huge problem, just thought I'd mention it.

I think about this units:

1. I don't know exactly about ships, but air units can be interesting as a large, fast, but very expensive.
2. Special infantry as the SS, commando... Invisible like assasins. For the special operations.
3. Field artillery.
4. Antiaircraft gun.

And list of nations:
1. England.
2. Italy.
3. Finland.
4. Soviet Union (the opponent of Finland)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War
5. Greece

And that will be all for the 1939-1940)
