Thank you, sir. :)

"miniatures that will interact with Infantry" why am I thinking GEV-PC for this? Although it could be HWT or some wonderful surprise...

Part of yesterday was spent reviewing the Set 2 CAD files.

Hoo-boy, a Mk IV an the underside of the GEV-PC ... replete with slots for the three infantry figures ... so very much looking forward to the second wave of minis.

OK...

So I've been laboring my brain about this issue.

Are people going to "swap out" individual figures from the bases every time they take a casualty or dismount/mount a GEV-PC? Seems like a PITA and also something which would damage/degrade the infantry figures over time.

or are people going to have premade permanent 1 & 2 & 3 figure stands (probably with the extra slots filled in and flocked over) that would function like counters?

You could do the old miniaturist trick of dropping a little plastic ring over dead infantry figures and just use the 3-stands. Probably the very easiest solution.

Obviously the second option requires having enough figs and bases to field a minimum of something like 10 full Inf stands, 6 "2's" and 6 "1's" (for the MkV scenario).

Very GEV-ish. :-)

I'm not going to worry about it until I have the pieces in-hand, and then I'll see how I feel. If the tabs eventually break, no big deal, I can glue them down later.
