They're also nice if you like to visually represent your fighter numbers
without dice.  I put some felt on the bottom and drilled out the holes
so I
can add and remove fighters (glued to bits of wire) at will.  It
significantly reduces the number of bases I need for fighters, and makes
them easier to store.

The downside is that I have to paint up more fighters than the static
1-3
per base method, but I don't mind that so much.
