Representing your in-game dopplegangers?

[Wereferret]

Having played our first few games of T2K, I was curious what everyone is using to represent your characters and the OPFOR during your encounters. Are you using miniatures? Models? Counters, or nothing at all? For our first couple games, as we are figuring things out we used tiny D6's on the little tactical maps in the gamebook with the die showing the initiative of each character...made it quick to tell whose turn it was.

The other night I had a rare flash of brilliance and dug out my 15-year old collection of little micro machine miniatures...the tiny infantry and vehicles are just about perfectly sized to fight on the small grid squares included on the in-game maps.
