VG NATO Counter Identification Info (second printing, 1/84)
-----------------------------------------------------------

PM = 2nd Polish Army
SM = 3rd Polish Army
Boleslav = 1st Czech Army
Olomouc = 4th Czech Army

A person who said he was one of the original playtesters for NATO has
stated that the only reason the Warsaw Pact units in Czechoslovakia
are colored orange is because of color printing limitations that existed
at the time of publication, and that this does not denote all these units
as being Czechoslovakian.
The various Warsaw Pact nationalities are denoted by lower-case
letters on the counters, as follows:

c = Czechoslovakia (eg. c3/Bol)
e = East Germany (eg. e11/1GT)
p = Poland (eg. p5T/SM)
All units without lower-case designations are Soviet.

Thus, there is a mix of East German and Soviet units in East Germany,
Polish and Soviet units in Poland, and Czech and Soviet units in
Czechoslovakia. These nationalities are given for historical reference
only and have no effect on game play.
