But now I've found in the same edition of WSS as the Dombas scenario a nice little one for Crete.

That'll need more Paras in Mediterranean uniform and a few dozen Greeks....

I may need to go out to work a bit more.
You can get all the period specific Fallschirmjager and British for Crete from Grubby Tanks. Which I had but must have sold on.

I picked up a digital copy of Nic Wright's Fantastic Battles the other day. Very much in the Warmaster mould they have a Lion Rampant style simplicity of seven base templates customizable with 40 traits. They use square bases of any size but I am using two 20mm x 40mm bases per element for infantry to keep usability with DBx rules. There are both fantasy lists and a handful of historic lists which leave out the magical elements. Looking good so far, I think these are going to be my rules of choice for 15mm fantasy and maybe ancients as well.

There isn't. It's just buying the sabots and making them pretty...

W2D just used normal bases of the right size and when finished in the same basing texture/flock etc,they looked great. No need to have the specially cut topper.
