Acrónimos 40k

En estos días estamos viendo el Nova a través de Ustream, como ya sabréis si os habéis pasado por nuestro facebook. Y resulta que, en los diálogos que aparecen en la pantalla algunas veces usan acrónimos que dificultan muchísmo el seguimiento de algunas partes de la conversación.

He buscado por internet un listado de acrónimos usados en el 40k (ademas he encontrado varios foros y blogs que ya los habia publicado) porque mientras se jugaba la tercera ronda del Nova 2013 en el dialogo que sucedía a la derecha de la pantalla se usaban dichos acronimos.  Lo dejo para facilitar mejor la comprensión de estos diálogos. A mí al menos me cuesta entender una conversación y cuando es un texto escrito el esfuerzo es mucho menor, pero los acronimos me vuelven loco.
