Another thing, that could be done is to use those little "dots" found at
most office supply stores, if you wanted you could put a tiny sticky-backed
dot on the "chest" of the pawns to indicate direction. I know Dave thinks
this is a silly idea but it would work, the other option would be to put a
mark on the pawns  yourself with a Sharpe, what to do about the Black Pawn I
am not sure, that's how the idea for dots came to me. Miniatures or pieces
from other games would work really well if they were handy, otherwise be
creative with items that are.

Just a thought.
