Sloppy Slippers

This is an army for Chess with Different Armies where pieces omit the second and every other even cell in its path.

Pieces

The Pieces, by equivalent FIDE pieces:

The Rooks: The Crowned Panda (Slip Dragon King/qRF)

This piece combines the moves of the Ferz, and the Slip Rook which is a Rook, but only to squares of different colour than the starting square. Thus, starting from a1 it can reach a2, a4, a6, a8, b1, d1, f1, and h1. It can be blocked on the fields it can reach, but jumps over pieces on the fields of the same colour as the starting field.

The Queen: The Slip Queen-(1,0 ; 0,1 ; 1,0) Decomposed Leaper Compound

Just as the Slip Rook only reaches the 1st, 3rd, 5th ... square in straight directions, one can define the Slip Bishop to reach the 1st, 3rd, ... square in diagonal direction. The Slip Queen-(1,0 ; 0,1 ; 1,0) Decomposed Leaper Compound combines the movements of the Slip Rook, the Slip Bishop, and the Knight restricted to making its move in three Wazir steps in a zigzag manner.

The Knights: The Knight/Slip Bede Hunter (fhNbqBbD)

This piece combines the moves of the forward half Knight, the backward slip Bishop, and the backward Dabbaba.

The Bishops: The War Bear (qBnD)

This piece combines the moves of the slip Bishop and the lame Dabbaba (Dabbaba restricted to making it's move in 2 {1,0} steps)

Notes

Each pieces except Pawn in this army can defend a Pawn that defends it.
