Here's how I solved the problem:

First I broke and filed off the existing "pegs" for the fighters. Next, I
glued 6 earring posts (US$2 for 100) to the base. Finally, I glued the
fighters themselves to earring backs (painted black). Now when I lose a
fighter, the actual fighter model can be removed from the base rather than
using a die. It really looks good (the earring post is thinner and more
invisible than the original peg) and it shows you the fighter strength at a
glance. Fun to watch my oponent's squadron being whittled down too...

Just an idea that's worked very well (and was very cheap and easy!)

This get's my top tip o' the month, I'm off down the craft shop to try it out.
I admit I think the D6 on a base looks a bit sucky YMMV.
