[OT] military clip art

Does anyone out there know where I can get clip art of military unit map
symbols, or armored vehicle and soldier silhouettes, etc.? It needs to run on
a Mac.

I want to use these to mark units on campaign maps.

There's rafts of clipart site on the WWW, as I'm sure you know. Three of what
I think are the better ones have links off my page (see my.sig) Some of them
have small military art sections, and links to loads of other pages.

It's not clipart, but
<http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/TomMouat/>
has a complete Truetype font of all the NATO military symbols. Truetype is
a PC format, but I gather you can get font-converter programs. I posted
this URL earlier this week (yesterday...) and really like it. It's
actually many different fonts packaged together - unit formations all
the
way from squad/section up to Army Group, plus engineering, support
echelon, and other markings. I'm still going through the fonts & docs.

i think the mac uses truetype as its native font technology (or it did last
time i looked), so you should be laughing. the file formats may
however need a little munging, so you might need to get a converter - i
think there is some info on this on the website.

Thanks. Yes, I had heard the web has the sort of thing I am looking for. The
problem is finding it. The options come down to spending a couple of evenings
looking myself, or asking those who might know. After all, what are friends
for?:)

Thanks again. I'll check it out.

I thought friends were there to heroically slaughter your forces then refuse
to be modest about the accomplishment?

Brian spake thusly upon matters weighty:
