I just realized an implication of having magetized bases.
Here is a stand (50mm x 30mm Jagdpanzer IV)
It has state information
and you can't see it.
Here it is:
The labels on the bottom are inkjet-printable business-card fridge magnets - an Avery product I think. While 60th Regiment, 15. Division VIII corps is more applicable to the Prussian army (another project) the fact is that this is an easy way to put stance, casualty, morale or "I am a decoy" information on a stand so that it cannot be seen. It is easy to add or remove but a brief experiment suggests that it is reasonably durable during normal stand use.
Something to think about. Perhaps let every German AFV use a Tiger stand until the real type attached to the bottom is revealed?
It is also fine for ID information that is not particularly needed by the opponent but is needed by the player. Or key chart values to save looking them up? The mind boggles. :-)
