Or something like a Mage-Knight Rebellion base - but it could only show
either 'number of fighters remaining' or 'number of CEF remaining'.

Hmm... _could_ do the following (need to check sizes) - glue B5W Fleet
Action fighter base (the new plastic ones) on top of top part of a MK-R
base. Print out replacement insert for MK-R base showing number of CEF
remaining (9 down to 0, to allow for long range fighters). Loose fit
B5W-FA fighters into the base, so they can be removed to represent
losses (or glue GZG fighters to lengths of plastic rodding of the
appropriate diameter).
I wonder if anyone gan get job lots of 'blank' MK-R bases? - otherwise
this is going to cost :-)

Or scratchbuild an equivalent construction :-)
