@George - You are right, combining with Pawn is always a tantalising and interesting concept, but usually it doesn't take off because of only perceiving its ability based on its one square move. With a 100 Square board it suddenly becomes a slider with a 3 square long first move - this is what enabled me to add more depth to the pawn combo by assigning 3 orthogonal squares to both Elephant and Hawk.

Thanks for taking a look. I know you like to get immersed in the most intricate of variant details and so feel free to analyse this particular pawn combo. ;)

@Hubert - It couldn't be any more self explanatory. I quote:

'Hawks sweep in from a distance and attack prey at their feet. They also hop forwards further than they do backwards.
Elephants charge forwards and have two tusks which point left and right of their next step. They also have an L shaped trunk.'


You must simply lack imagination.
