I haven't seen 'em, they must not have made the trip 
since everything else is fine.

We are working on a redesign of the fighter base in use 
here.  Small raised areas on a 1 1/2" diameter base to 
hold the fighters and a place for a die or two at the back 
(the space will accomadate one 10mm or the two fives 
mentioned previously).	I've always been against the 
wires, (sorry Jon, but I've based over a hundred of the 
buggers now and I've glued my LAST fighter to a wire!!) 
but when I desperately needed bases I accepted the 
design made by Marty at Simtac.  The redesigned raised 
areas will be either truncated pyramids or cones, three 
short ones in front and three taller ones in the back.	The 
base will have a marked area to show field of fire.  
Nothing has been carved as yet so if the field has any 
suggestions . . . ?
