Nice-looking set of short-range pieces there. I do have a question, though.
Do the Llama and Alpaca have a non-capturing move to their capturing
squares? I don't find the definition precise enough to tell, although
based on the description of the third piece, it appears they do. You did
not intend to have the pieces move only one way and capture only the other,
I don't think, or did you? Still, either way, they make nice pieces. With
the different movement and capture modes, they are very reminiscent of the
excellent game Separate Realms, by Peter Aronson and Mike Nelson.
