Smoke Cloud Markers and Combat rulers

My smoke markers are brown with some red print on them. Is that intentional?

That is the protective film on the acrylic. Simply peel it off and you are all set. A lot of us like to leave the brown paper on the backside though. It works really well for tracking when a broadside is reloading. So when the ship fire, put the marker out white side up, the turn it is reloading flip it to the brown side. If you have hobby skills, you can paint the back side for better visual effect on this.
