Re: [GZG] 15mm figure skirmish basing

Having had problems with figs based on cardboard squares, I'd probably
go
with sheet styrene, and stick the mag sheeting to it instead. Easy to
cut
in 1/2" strips, then chop 1/2" squares. The styrene is pretty light, but
the added bulk of the mag vinyl should be sufficient for 15mm, as long
as
they aren't scaled seven foot, genetically maladjusted freaks of nature.

By the way, the blank die cut counters are still available, I think from
Chessex as well as others, at least in the US.

YMMV, of course.
