Been playing PBI for years, and occasionally hit the issue of remembering "which group is in which vehicle", usually with hanomags, but sometimes with a carrier platoon.
Possibly solved this with a recent acquisition from Warbases (by recent, read "only arrived in the post yesterday morning")

Now just need to decide, do I want the plain ones to mark up myself, or the ones with an acrylic identifyer?

I expect that you will need to do both!!

That's a neat idea, fastolfrus.

I paint the back edge of my bases in platoon colour, so would use a variant of that approach for the vehicles and their occupants' sabot.

Thank you.
Not my idea originally, spotted it on a non RFCM game, but noticed that Warbases do movement trays that accommodate 30x30mm bases, so just asked them to do some with a slightly wider edge on one of the short edges.
Got samples 60x30 for carriers and small trucks, and 120x30 for trucks and half-tracks.

I paint the back edge of bases to distinguish platoons, but hadn't considered something like that with the vehicle sabots
