In my experience circular bases are just as prone to fall over; they
just 
do it in more random directions than the hex ones <shrug> In addition
the 
circular bases don't make it nearly as easy to determine course changes,

nor (if you use the smooth GW-style bases rather than the "studded"
GeoHex 
ones) to determine fire arcs.

Besides, if Jon is to make circular bases he'll have to sculpt new ones
- 
the hexagonal ones already exist...
