NATO Symbols For War Games - 5/25/2015 7:50:07 AM

I would like to start playing war games using NATO symbols. I have found a lot of documents on the web searching for "APP-6A" or "MIL-STD 2525C" but these are all 400+ pages long and far too detailed for casual game use.

Can someone point me to a list of symbols that would be used in games, not the full blown manuals.

Any help will be appreciated getting started with these symbols.

Regards MarkL
