Cool video footage from Royal Navy in Cold War era

<r> Not sure if this fits here, but came across this cool little 'documentary' raw footage of HMS Hampshire, along with footage of Buccaneers, Harrier Jump Jets and Royal Marines. Pretty cool and old school.<br/>

Counter-Factual Fiction Books - NATO vs. Russia/WW3

<t> Yes, a slightly different topic here!<br/>

Obviously we all share an interest in naval and military history/simulations, so I thought why not also share our book interests within this topic. <br/>

I have no idea on how the NATO symbol for insurgent or guerrilla looks like.<br/>

But I do like how the partisan counter looks like in MWIF so I can't resist showing it.<br/>

NATO Symbol Help

<r> Hi guys,<br/>
<br/>
I'm designing a board game, and I was just wondering what the NATO symbol for an insurgent/guerrilla would be.<br/>
<br/>
In theory I could use an infantry symbol, but that has a tendency to represent organised infantry, not a rag-tag insurgent unit.<br/>
<br/>

Is it possible to use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and then attempt a google translate? or would that be too inaccurate?

I noticed that I had to zoom quite close in to see the range circles of my helicopter's hellfire missiles. If I zoomed out for a broader operational view, the range circle would disappear.

Some good projects here!

I'm playing around with the editor for the first time. I was making up a fictional standoff between Equatorial Guinea and the United Kingdom, implementing 'soft power' and not all out conflict.
