RF - Red Front - AFAIK military wing of the communist party in pre-nazi Germany

My contribution:

SF - sciense fiction or speculative fiction

ACS - armored combat suit (also called hardsuit), abbreviation AFAIK invented by SF writer Jhon Ringo _the hymn before battle_

About Red Front ("Rot Front"), you are correct. It was their way to show their membership to the cause, saying these words and raising their right fist.

IMHO two very short words and not worth to be abbreviated. I have never seen the acronym RF standing for this.

Does anyone know if Apolyton has an official documentation area? Something where we, as contributors, can compile a document like these abbreviations and have it posted to a specific area of the Apolyton site (common document area) where anyone can download it? If the title's descriptive and I don't have to root around news notes and forum comments to get the finished reference then I'd definitely appreciate such a place.

How does CBC = Close Quarter Combat?

ECS (Eternal China Syndrome) - So China was untouched for 6000 years? I guess that means that the Mongols and the Japanese were a couple nations passing through admiring the scenery? I seem to remember them historically being pushed around a lot.

	Compile this into a Babylon glossary Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Gramphos :

It would be a great idea to turn all the abbreviation list that you have already compiled here into a Babylon glossary.

If you don't have Babylon engine and dictionnaries on your PC, well download right now. It is a must
You can download the Babylon builder utility for free and creating a new glossary is really simple - the source file is editable and you can copy-paste you existing list into it.

IMO, I would help newbies and non (native) english speaking persons like me.

Note that there are already many glossaries on chatroom abbreviations available on Babylon (search "chatroom"), but none related to Civilization.
