If the lead vessel had of been a submarine (nad yes, some do exist in GWX) the the square or diamond shape would be 'round/circular' but obviously the other elements of the convoy would more than likely be ships.
Conversely, the lead ship that was coloured red on the map wouldn't automatically mean everything else in the convoy was an enemy....ther might also be a submarine and or a few neutrals.
Hope this helps clarify a few points.

Yep, I got a report of an enemy convoy on my last patrol - when I got there, it was mostly made up of British ships but there were some neutrals in the center of it and a sub bringing up the rear.
I wonder though, with this "neutral" convoy that turned out to be mostly British, were there escorts and were the escorts also British (or from another enemy nation)? What would happen if you attacked an enemy ship in the midst of a convoy escorted by ships from a neutral country... would the neutral escorts come after you? Or are there no neutral ships doing escort duty in the Eastern half of the Atlantic?
