As Mephiston says, I use them to mark all formations that have activated, and keep the total dice elsewhere as a quick check on the number of activations remaining. For turn #1 this is usually un-necessary as it is pretty obvious what is left to activate (though failed activations are a nuisance especially if you get as many as me
), but in later turns it becomes more crucial, especially where opposing formations close on each other and you want to exploit positions where the enemy has activated.lightning and gear: ? ? Unused

Slow firing I would turn the affected model round.
Critical (Eldar holofields destroyed, fire etc) I usually remember, but I do like the suggestion of using one of the remaining two symbols.
Supreme Commander Re-rollI tend not to use
, but when present, I place a distinctive dice nearbyIn practice, I would suggest that tournament players tend to use some form of marker to record activations and other important events as an aide-memoire for both sides to avoid disputes, where this becomes less important in friendly games.
