Well, it would cause squares to end up coloured but not with any
particular colour, which is about right. (I've set up simulations of
this sort of competitive Life, and they were quite interesting;
generally speaking aiming things at your opponent led to a huge buffer
of intermediate-coloured useless debris, which sounds about right for
the aftermath of a war.)
