I looked at Scirocco with an eye toward making a preset. It can be done, but it needs a new piece set. Adrian King is quite right when he says use pieces with the move diagrammed on the piece. Like most wargames or Navia Drapt, where the movement information is displayed on the piece, this game also requires that information instantly available. The pieces should be reversed for the opponent, so the 'true' moves show on the gameboard. Further, I'd suggest the promotion options be shown on the pieces. Given this piece set, the game would be reasonably playable on game courier.
