Default Re: War-related phrases ingame

I can't help with the German I'm afraid but can give some "English Translations" which may help a little:

Shotgun V-Hex Victory Hexes "scattered" about as if fired from a shotgun as opposed to in a seven hex group
CHQ Link Radio connection (link) to higher level headquarters
discarding sabot penetrators Modern Armour Piercing ammunition - a metal (Tungsten in wwii) "dart" smaller in diameter than the barrel of the gun fitted with a surrounding case (sabot) which falls away when the projectile leaves the gun increasing the momentum of the penetrating dart (penetrator)
CMG Casement or Co-Axial Machine Gun - a gun mounted in the turret of a tank alongside the main gun and (usually) aimed with it
Tank Platoon - panzerkampfwagen Zug (or just Panzer these days?)
AFVs Armoured Fighting Vehicles. Tanks, etc
Plotting marking where you want the bomber to target
beaten zone context: the ability to create a "beaten zone" of area fire out of their own
bump small hill / hillock
pointed have a higher point value
bereft without
Dragons Teeth concrete blocks to stop vehicle access - "tank traps"
baddie
slang for bad person /enemy
LHS Left Hand Side (panel on the left of the screen)


Edit: Sorry beaten to it by a much more helpful post
