MOVE - A
soldier moves like the chess Rook (i.e., any number of empty cells in
a straight orthogonal line).
|
|
CAPTURE - There are two ways of
capture:
 |
Custodian - If a soldier moves orthogonally next to an enemy
soldier and there is another
friendly soldier directly beyond that, the enemy is squeezed
between the two pieces and captured. |
|
Intervention - If a soldier steps between two
orthogonally placed enemy pieces, it captures them both. |
|
The edge of the board may be used to form any line of three to
complete a capture. So a soldier may capture an enemy piece by
sandwiching it between itself and the edge of the board
or by stepping between the enemy piece and the edge of the board. |
|
It
is possible to move so as to capture in more than one direction at a
time. |
|
|
GOAL - A player wins
when he stalemates his opponent, or reduces him to two soldiers or
less.
