Bob, you seem to have questions about the icons and I don't understand well what are the problems. If you use Musketeer's

then, there is a lot of solutions there. On the right you have a table of many lines and 4 columns. Let's say the white Knight is (1,3). My suggestions would then be:

Chancellor: (5,3) or (6,1). The one you have is better for RK than for RN.

General: you use (76,1) that I would have used for the Lancer, instead. I would have picked (76,3) for the General.

Lancer: I would have used (76,1) which looks like a Greek hoplite that had long lance. Or (80,3), or (82,1) or (83,1).

Nightrider: it seems that you've made your own icon. An alternative could be (91,3), a flying Knight (pegasus).

Princess: the (21,3) you have in the move diagram was OK. I don't like the one you put in the setup. The conventional one for BN are (5,1) or (6,3).

Tank: (134,3) or 156,3) are exactly tanks.
