To be precise, your 'QuickPawns' move exactly like the Pawns on the 12x12 board of Perfect Chess, a non-competing entry in the Large Variant 99 Contest. Jean-Louis Cazaux states on his rules page: <p>'It can advance one or two square from ANY position on the board. However, its capturing move is unchanged: one square diagonally forward. As a consequence, the en-passant capture is possible every time the opposite Pawn has advanced two squares. When the Pawn reaches the last row it can promote to one of the three major pieces: Queen, Lion or Gryphon. '
