I can't find any email in which I specifically mentioned that the
Cannon-Pawns should be less powerful, but the limited Cannon Pawns do
better fit my memory of how the Cannon Pawns moved, and the change is one
I may very well have recommended. The Rococo Cannon Pawns can hop over
pieces even without capturing, while the limited Cannon Pawns can't. I
would have favored these limited Cannon Pawns, because they are blockable.
This is the same reason I favored Chinese Chess Knights over Chess Knights
for the Pawn replacements in Cavalier Chess.

I am currently designing some Abstract pieces for Ultima, Rococo, and
Supremo. I still have a few pieces left to do. How about if I send you the
images when they're ready, then you can release an updated ZRF for both
Rococo and Supremo with alternate piece sets.
