My vote is for option A of rule 7. This is the most logical and simplest
interpretation for the potential of this game.

It will also encourage a player to cycle through the various pieces, in
order to achieve a positional advantage.  An opponent might have to be
quite wary of any opposing quantum within 'Amazon' range of their King.

But there does raise the potential of interesting positions.  For example,
a player only has the potential of one Rook and one Bishop for the two
remaining pieces.  And in this position, they might offer a checkmate as
un-defined.  The opposing King on the far rank, and the two pieces located
one on the far rank and the other on the next(classic two Rook checkmate). 
The opponent is unable to avoid a capture, though only one piece might
become the Rook both have the same potential.
