“Pawns” have the same moves as Kings so that you never get stuck.
You start off as a Pawn. You make a move; then your “Captain” (same team) makes a move; and then your Opponent makes a move.
Rules for Battle:
- If you attack a piece, then every piece that can “see” the attacked piece joins into a real-time 2D battle. “See” means if a legal move would “touch” that piece.
- If a piece on your team is attacked and you can “see” the attacked piece, then a battle also starts.
- If any King is attacked, then a battle also starts.
- If a King is attacked, all of its team’s pieces join in the battle, so be careful before attacking the King!
If you win/lose the battle, then the appropriate piece takes the square. If you win, your Pawn is also promoted.
During battle, each piece has slightly different attacks.
Can you promote your Wee Pawn to a Queen? Can you defeat the enemy King?
Enjoy!
