[WarInEur] Stupid question time

[Kent & Sue Haunschild]

Well it might be possible to change the shape and number of the indicators 
from two round each with green/red/orange attribute.  To four. a round, a 
diamond, another round and a square.  Color would be immaterial then because 
it would be the order of fill not the color that would convey the 
information.
