Sam, you forget that the Adjutant is a sliding piece. 1.h4 is no mating
threat because black can simply block the check by playing f7-f6, or
placing a bishop in between, for instance. (However, the position you give,
RANBQKBNAR, won't work with Adjutants anyway while the pawns on the b and
i files can be immediately captured by the Adjutants.)
