Often ...
I use a chit pull system. I have made a token for each ship (actually a plastic ludo counter - one colour for Axis and one colour for allied with a number inked on for each ship. The numbers replicate those on the ship data cards I use to play)
For the movement phase simply pull...
Works fine - scale looks/feels better IMO
Pennies are great - nice stable base
and there is a rake of 15mm AFVs and other vehicles available
I also use the 1/100 Airfix minikits (rebranded Doyushu) for air assets - all superbly pre-painted and easy to assemble
and there are the newer Axis...

As mentioned I saw the base idea for the cards in a pdf...

It seems to me quite straightforward...
If you move with the tank at all during the turn you get the re-roll mechanic - no stabilisers so fair enough. It's not really a penalty just a uncertainty mechanic to make you think about strolling all over the battlefield like an invincible behemoth...
Quick Question
When an ambush unit is revealed does the revealing cause a reaction from nearby troops or do they get to stand up shoot (ie a true ambush) before the nearby troops react
