The ? is very clear and descriptive. It's a new player, nobody knows anything about him/her yet, we don't know about skill etc. so a question mark is appropriate. It stands out clearly from the other ranks, which is good because lots of new recruits deadbeat - thus it is good for players to spot them easily.

The ? is symbolically unclear and represents the random map, unknown territories in fog, and currently the new recruit. I wonder how many new recruits played a fooggy game and thought they owned the ? territories? Perhaps if they saw an option to play a random game, they felt those territories were random? By changing the new recruit symbol to something other than the ? symbol, we provide an opportunity to break any unforeseen confusion that the new recruit may have.

I truly doubt that any person would actually think that QH.
"Hey, my color is green, and i see green troops on this board. Nah, i think i most own all these question marks "
Then they start their turn, and realize, that they don't, and they own the green territories.

I'm telling you..."dog tags" is FAR less of a "definitive" newbie rank than almost any of the others. Dog tags are worn by those on a battlefield...everyone...meaning they're likely somewhat experience and potentially HIGHLY experienced. It just doesn't seem logical at all to me that dog tags would be a symbol for a newbie on a war-strategy rank structure.

Think outside of the "I-am-former-military" box.
