Re: Tanks with stuff inside... but what is it?
As you can see from my tag I'm a Herald.
For the best part of a thousand years we have used the same system of colours for identification. If it work through the mud and the blood and the dust of a battle field, it should work here.
We use Five Colours:
Black
Red
Blue
Purple
Green
and Two Metals:
Gold [yellow]
Silver [white]
We never place Colour on Colour,
or Metal on Metal.
The system is still working. Have a look around you - road signs, number plates, danger signs. If it works then its either Metal on Colour or Colour on Metal.
You could add Pale Blue to the Metals
and Brown, and Orange to the Colours, if you really wanted to.
So a Blue Tank with a Yellow cross would be one thing but a Yellow tank with a Blue cross would be totaly different.
One thing I will guarantee even if you only use a cross and a square, you will run out of tanks befor you run out of combinations. ;-)

You mean, of course, that you're intrested in heraldry? Unless you work for the Royal College in London?

Re: Tanks with stuff inside... but what is it?
Gentlemen
Have I somehow called into question your integrity? Your honesty?
Or is it just that you enjoy insulting others without reason?
Whilst I have no need to prove to you my bona fides, I will just say this. I spent 30 years of my life working for the military. The last 20 years, part of my job was to organise and design Military Heraldry.
Since I retired I have acted as a consultant in the design of a number of pieces of heraldry. I also hold the office of Herald in two international Societies.
Just as a matter of interest there are to my certain knowledge at least 8 National Heraldic organisations, 1 religious and 2 (posible more) International Heraldic Organisations. All of which also have the office of Herald.

Nope. Why are you asking?

Nobody insulted you.
You said you are a Herald. I believe that, because I have no reason to doubt it. I assume Lucas does the same. However, it clearly seems that it is not common knowdledge, what a Herald actually is. Sure, I know what heraldry is and what heraldics means, but when I put "Herald" into my dictionary, all I got was the medieval occupation descrition. This lead to some confusation, especially since in German we got "Herold" for the mediecal occopation and "Heraldiker" for the modern one. However, Heraldiker did not spit out any results and it was not translated as "Herald" by my dictionary.
Therfor I hope you understand the confusion that you mistook for hostility. If I told you I was a CIMDA, it would have provided you about the same informational quality, that I (and apparently Lucas) got from "Herald".
You are most welcome with all due respect and I hope this clarification helped to solve this missunderstanding.
