Fighter basing

Just had this thought on tracking fighters and CEF: drill holes for 2 pieces
of wire (heavy duty paper clips, say) and use necklace beads on them. As
fighters are destroyed, CEF is used remove the beads.

Hmmm, interesting idea. I've been mounting my fighters onto the new plastic
bases that come with the lighter ships (one fighter per stand, so it's much
cheaper!) but I was planning on using small colored pegs, like what's used in
Mastermind, but I haven't been able to find any yet.

You might want to try a game (here in the US) called "Shadowlord!" by Parker
Brothers. It is an extreamly simple conquest game, and the fleets in the game
are these
little round rings about 1-1/4 inch across.  Around the edges are 6
holes for these little "ship pegs". In the center of the ring, is a hole for a
disk with the fleet leader's name on it. They come in 5 colors (black, yellow,
green, red, and blue).

If you liked the shadowlord game, you could make a disk, and attach a single
fighter mini to it. This would allow you to use the rings as fighter bases
without making them perminent.
