Well, I've been pretty happy with the system I came up with - a
Battletech
hex base and some brass rod.  I cut the rod into three 1" lengths and
three
1&1/4" lengths and arrange them into arcs on the base.	This allows me
to
slip a standard Chessex 12mm "cube die" into the back area of the base
as a
fighter counter.
