Understood. Just throwing it out as devil's advocate. :)

Same as above but sometimes people can't avoid that. Just pointing it out as
it came to mind as it did with Chris.

Oh, I agree. However the idea was a moon base and one of their requirements
were the 96x96 plates (or whatever they are!) for compatibility, most
useable space, and they did say no hodgepodge baseplates - if I'm
remembering what I read - too lazy to go back and peek at their guidelines
again. :)
Anyway as long as using brown or tan can be acceptable, I'm sure most people
participating will be able to blend it all in so it's moot. Just trying to
think of anyone that might wanna participate that may not have enough plates
to do so. ;)
