barca Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 So I bought this dice set and somebody asked me: "Why did BF choose that symbol (the silver lion) to be on the US dice? I did some research and here is what I think: 1. It is the Symbol of Harold Coyle's unit in Germany 2. He served with 3rd Battalion, 68th Armored Regiment: Tank platoon leader, C/3-68 armor, Mannheim, Germany, 1975-76tank battalion S-3, AIR 3-68 armor, Mannheim, Germany, 1976-78tank company commander, A Co., 3BN 68th armor, Mannheim, Germany, 1978-79 sources: http://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/coyle-harold-1952-harold-w-coyle-harold-william-coylehttp://prabook.com/web/person-view.html?profileId=214300 3. The unit insignia of the 68th Armor is a silver lion on a blue background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68th_Armor_Regiment https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:68_Arm_Rgt_DUI.jpg http://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?http&&&www.usarmygermany.com/units/8th%20inf%20div/usareur_8th%20inf%20div.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
