Chancellor: I don't understand. The one I have there is literally a Rook and a Knight.

Yes, but is not nice. (6,1) is more usual. Look here for example https://www.chessvariants.com/rules/heavy-chess

General: You mean the axe, or the shield?

none of them, my mistake. I meant the one at (72,3)

Lancer: Am I getting these suggestions right? The one I'm using may be a spear rather than a lance, but it does seem more suggestive of the job (at least, to me).

sorry, lance or spear are translated as lance in French, so I don't know the difference.

Princess: HG seemed to be against this one in a. I'm checking that I read your coordinates right; if so, I'll go with column c.

in c. you mean the Fortress with a Rook on top of a Rook? That is a terrible choice for a BN.

If these are the ones you mean, I really prefer medieval siege engines over modern tanks.

Musketeer has several siege engines icons. I understand your reluctance for a tank incon, but then, why do you call it a "tank" if you don't want a tank? You may call it otherwise, Trebuchet, Onager, Catapult, Ballista, ...
