Thanks John,

I was toying with doing something in the back of my head about control of
squares, but it was low priority. I had gotten as far as determining that the
side with the least valuable resources controlling the square was in fact
actually controlling it, but didn't have the time to really think about it.

This saves me a lot of thought.
