Version 1.2 cleans up the damage/crippled/sunk/AAA markers for Battleboard counters.

Version 1.1 tries to fix the bug which keeps observers from seeing the hidden searchmap counters. Also adds place marker command to battleboard ship counters to facilitate adding SUNK, CRIPPLED, DAMAGED, and AAA markers when appropriate.

I built MID64 because I found the previous module MIDWAY64 to be a bit tedious (different mapboards (vs hidden movement on the same searchmap), no hidden notes capability, no button for bringing back the searchmap if you hid it, non-editable aircraft labels, ...

so here is my effort to make MIDWAY a little easier to play via VASSAL.

Enjoy.
