The only _possible_ difference I see in the base size change is making a
screen to block charging units. I've heard that normal infantry and
vehicles can have a maximum of 2 opponents in CC. Doesn't matter where
they touch bases,2 max, and that's it. Oh, and the other time the new
bases would come into play was if you were signing up in an official
painting contest or tourney.

The army lists do look like 40k, but there is one big difference with
min/maxing detachments as opposed to 40k. All units in a det. must be on
the same orders.
Nope, Commanders will give you a slight advantage morale wise and a slight
advantage in CC.
