Subject: fighter basing
An odd idea: Fender washer Chunk of styrofoam or a lump of putty or a rubber chunk pins (straight pins with coloured ends, the small bulbs not the big ass coloured push pins) (red and green for example). Nail or wire Glue wire or nail to edge of washer (drill through, whatever) creating fighter mini mount. Putty would be best. Mould space for die to sit, and a lump at the back. Let dry, prime black. Putty becomes pincushion for red and green pins (shortened) which represent CEFs and numbers in a squadron. Or use six different colours instead of six pins. Or use coloured toothpicks instead. Thus you can tell at a glance how many fighters you have and what the CEF is by colour coding. No beads. Just pull out a pin or change the toothpick. Tomb.
