Represented by a truck (and other substitutions)

[plloyd1010]

Triangular_cube reintroduced a problem with his Bush Artillery gripe. Not that it's unreasonable, but resolution could be spotty. We've all seen the scenarios which call in substitute counters from other forces. Meet Maurice Rose is an example. The German army is represented by 2 trucks. For those familiar with the scenario, one truck obviously belongs to the SS, the other to the Luftwaffe. On the other hand, there have been scenarios that eventually got substitute counters in their national colors, like On the Run.

With Vassal has come a sort of solution. Counters graphics beyond the physical countersets now exist. That would be things like SS and Luftwaffe truck, Hungarian 37mm AT guns, so on. Everything on the scenario page order of battle can look like it belongs to right national force. Units absent, like Slovak truck, can be added in. Wonderful, aesthetically pleasing, intellectually satisfying, but a mountain of rework. So which is better?
