We've known that TOW was going to use square bases since it was first announced.

That was, indeed, the very first thing we knew about it.

From the second the announcement was made you had people on here and other places suggesting this was Warmaster, or AOS Apocalypse, or some other non-square game, usually with a side of "Just play AOS guise!" for good measure. Having to repeat it is simply par for the course.

There hasn't been enough rules-based news for me to make a hearty assessment of my future game plans, but the DID make it clear that I could use movement tray spaces to play with my existing models, so there's that.

Yep. We can make all-new movement trays to replace all the old ones we built up over the years so we could play games with hundreds of Skaven or Night Goblins...

Or play with people who won't give a damn about the base width. While playing a classichammer night I watched two 40K players ensuring that they were using the proper GW table dimensions for the points being played. My golden rule is to not play anyone who's on that level. My home table is 6' x 5' and having an extra 6" of deployment zone per side isn't going to break the game, so anyone refusing to play on one of those surfaces would be an easy pass. I imagine the same type of people will nitpick base size, and I'll avoid them like the plague.
