Needs some visual distinction between the pieces and the board. I like the suggestion of having the pieces change color in the different sections. Maybe make the board a lighter version of that color, so you can tell what is what, but can also distinguish the pieces from the board. Or, you might want to give it a standard checkered pattern; that can help people line things up, especially along diagonals. Also, on the mediums and smalls, try drawing some boxes indicating relative size, like you do with the Homeworlds graphics.
