After the game Don and Gordon had some recommendations on how I could identify my 2iC tank by adding a left-over Italian aerial recognition symbol (an off-white circle) to the top of the hull. I've done this as you can see in the right most tank in the photo above. Originally I had thought about adding some additional kangaroos on one of my platoon, but much to my dismay I had used up all of the decals I had. Reasoning that the small Italian unit markings could have been left on by the Australians I added some to one of my two combat platoons. This should help me differentiate each platoon and the 2iC. Thanks go to Don and Gordon for the good advice.

The Germans found they had to make their captured Russian tank markings very visible otherwise they were liable to get shot up by their own side.
That could be a great rule in any WW2 ruleset where captured tanks are being used i.e. roll to see if your own side don't shoot at you
That's why the plucky Aussies painted giant kangaroos over every side of the Italian tanks. The 'roos covered up all the Italian insignia and told their friends (and fellow Australians) that they were captured tanks.
