Support Help CN: Abbreviations, Acronyms etc

[Disciple of Nagash]

Another feature we had from many years ago was the function where you could hover a certain word such as TOW and it would tell you what it meant. Very useful for new members etc. I have now found a new addon that this (hover over TOW to see!). I now need all your help! If we can collectively compile a list I can upload and I will be tweaking the styling on abbreviations so they stand out a bit.

I would very much appreciate the help as I continue to try and improve the forum, so thanks in advance for any help (note it doesn't need to just be abbreviations, e.g. we used to have "bunker" as it was a common term. We can also categorise them, e.g. "bunker" was under our Tactical Terms category

[Raven Torrid]

• VC - Vampire Counts
• TK - Tomb Kings
• SBG - Soulblight Gravelords
• VLoZD - Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon
• AT - Abyssal Terror
• Necro - Necromancer
• Blender Lord - Specific aggressive Melee Lord build
• Horde - Unit with a rank that is 10 wide, used to get an attack from an extra row
• Chaff - Cheap, expendable, cannon fodder units (zombies etc.)

Some are maybe outdated, some are not...will keep editing this post as I remember more.

I would make a parsimonious list of abbreviations, otherwise it can get over the top and result in a lot of mouse hovering and nonsensical posts if we encourage too many to be used. We have to think of non-native English speakers in particular when it comes to encouraging excessive use of abbreviations. The hover feature is a good idea for commonly used ones though.
