[OT] RP BT bases Re: fighter bases

**
Yeah, FASA used to sell them. Or, rather, the company that produced Battletech
minis (Ral Partha?) used to make them. I don't know if they are still around.
These from GZG look different, though. Less bulky, much cleaner...

Well, unless we're talking really big, greater-than-D6's, these won't be
much use for holding dice, which is what TomB was seeking, as I recall.

However, the bases, hex-with-a-lip, were good for many things. Steve
Jackson even used them for the infantry bases. The flat depression was good
for setting small-based figs into, and then filling to the top with
something like epoxy for a nice, flat surface for flocking.

Interestingly, at one point FASA bought out RP, so it WAS FASA producing
them. With the recent crash-and-burn, I think RP is still selling things
on their website, but only for a limited time. Can't say if these are still
there.

Part of my own playing with fighter bases included using something similar to
KR's modified metal ships bases, only with holes for ships pegs on the outer
edge, and a square, lipped flat piece on the center post for a tiny 'life
die'. One of the many projects gathering dust in the basement causing
understandable ire with the SO. ;->=

Did I mention she's a saint?
