One of the things I like about the game Flames of War is that it
actually 
makes an attempt (albeit small) to address this issue wrt air strikes.
If 
you get an air strike to appear, there is a 1 in 6 chance that it will 
misidentify the side it is supposed to be shooting at (then you have I
think 
a 50% chance of waving it off). 

I haven't seen very many other games even make mention of
misidentification 
potentials.
