• hi people!

    so i wanted to learn some strategies and i found some interesting guide but soon found out that i don’t understand what they are talking about!
    i though that it would be helpful for newcomers (like me) to see this post, so please lets add all commonly used abbreviations or nick names in the game.

    what do those abbreviations mean?

    KJF (can it be 'kill Japanese fleet?) -
    KGF (can it be 'kill German fleet?) -
    BB (i think it’s not a bomber, cause the guide suggest buying BB and BMR) -
    LUFTWAFFE PLANES (though it’s not an abbreviation i guess) -
    LANT (listed with some territories) -

    those i figured out, correct me if i’m wrong:

    G(or UK,J,US,R)1,2,3… - Germany in round 1,2,3…
    VC - victory city
    NCM - non combat move
    R1,2,3… - round 1,2,3…
    INF - infantry
    FTRS - fighter
    BMR - bomber
    SZ1,2,3… - sea zone 1,2,3…
    MED FLEET - Meditareat fleet

    thanks for help


  • ok, i answer a part of it by myself :-)

    KJF (instead of J could be UK, G, US, or R) - kill Japan (or UK, US, Germany, or Russia) first
    LANT - i guess it’s Atlantic?
    ART- artilery
    ARM - tanks (because it is called ‘armor’ in the original verison)

    but i still don’t know what is:

    DD (as some sort of unit?) -
    BB (i think it’s not a bomber, cause the guide suggest buying BB and BMR) -
    LUFTWAFFE PLANES (though it’s not an abbreviation i guess) -


  • Sorry about this. We do it as typing can get tiresome. (I am awful at it.)
    DD is Destroyer.
    BB is Battleship, but I have used for Bomber too.


  • Good idea to make an abrv. list.  :)
    Here some additions:

    CM (combat move)
    NCM (non combat move)
    ATL (atlantic)
    PAC (pacific)
    FIC (french indo china)
    TRUC (the carolines, took me a while to figure this one out)

    BMB (is what i use for bombers)
    FIG (fighter)
    TAC (tactical bomber, i’ve seen TB too)
    AC (aircraft carrier, some people use CV too)
    CRU (cruiser, some use something else which i can’t remember)
    BB (Battleship)
    SUB (some use SS)
    TRP (i think some use TT)



  • Wow, now this link is great! A lot of unrelated stuff there but a huge help.
