ROFL!! 

I remember now the joyful days of Moria and the ASCII 
hack'n'slash adventure games. Actually, if you add 16 colours
to the below, it might start to look acceptable...

Let's see...

Soldier:        Tank:           Howitzer:       Cannon:
        |o               ^=              /              _==
        (|\             mmm             O=O             O-o

Phalanx:        Engineer:       Elephant:       Stealth Bomber:
         o/              /\             mmo             _=\
        /|)             mm`             {}`              =/

Fighter:        NUCLEAR:
         |               |
        /|\              *

Etc.

Oh, yes. It would be fun. If I want to do it... nyah...

Yours,
