Actually I use a very light green/gray (almost whiteish) then paint an
irregular diagonal-ish scheme in a dark green. Lots of emphasis is
placed
on disgusing and blurring any straight lines or regular features on the
miniatures.
My thought was camo is supposed to disguse and hide vehicles, so the
spacing
and placement of the colours was done to disguise the vehicles on the
gaming
board. It works very well in that many of my opponents have been caught
thinking one vehicle was another type, and some were caught not
realizing
the actual facing of the vehicle. (hehehehe)
