Round tracker without initiative? (Free version)

In the free version, is there a way to have a turn tracker on every player's screen, even though we are not using the initiative or any tracker like that?  We are playing Star Wars Imperial Assault and every token gets to go once in a round, but not in any specific order, so we just X out the tokens after they take their actions.  So we are looking for a tracker I can click on as the GM to show which round we are in because some missions have a time limit, like "Game ends at the end of round 7". I suppose I could put a dice token on the page and change the facing for each round, but having dice on the screen might be a bit confusing for some....

You can add a custom turn in the Gear on the Turn Order and give it a formula of +1.  Each time it comes up in the turn order, it will increment it's current value, yielding a round counter.
There is no turn order.  We arent using that.  Since it's up to the players who goes when, the initiative doesn't work for that.  So we are looking for just some way to track which round it is after all the players go and after all the GM tokens go.

Well you don't have to be using it for initiative to use the turn tracker, if you're not doing anything else with it. You can just put two entries on the tracker, one that says "Round count" with a formula of +1, and then a blank entry (the calculator thing doesn't work unless there are a minimum of two entries) and then whenever the round is over, quickly hit the advance button twice. Then the round count goes up and all the players see it.
You could setup a multi-sided token with numbers 1-10 (or more) as the sides, then drop it on the board when you begin the round. after each character has had and action, advance the face of the 'round' token and begin the next round.  
Thank You!!!!
