On some of my larger tanks (e.g., Deimos heavy tanks) I paint a
number on the back for identification purposes [for me]. For all
my other tanks I put dots (1-4) under the turret (these are mainly
for platoon leader identification). 

On some of my large Jupiter tanks I've painted chevrons for
platoon ID purposes, but nothing more detailed (my painting
skills are already taxed just painting chevrons on these tanks!).
I'm currently painting up a bunch of German and Russian WWII
microtanks for a DSII "kursk" scenario	I want to run at ECC VII
and am probably going to grab GHQ's decal sheets. Any extras
from that I'm thinking to fold over onto my numerous Brigade and
GZG tanks.
