For this game's 10x8 board I tentatively put X(Berolina Pawn)=1.05(or 1 approx.); N=3.38(or 3.25 approx.); B=3.75; R=5.5; SH(Ship)=6.2625(or 6.25 approx.); AR(Archer)=5.45(or 5.5 approx.); Q=R+B+P=10.25 and K's fighting value=3.2. The variant's name was inspired by it being a second attempt at a game with the special Ship and Archer piece types, which have powers including ones perhaps somewhat akin to the discharge of Gamma rays, and the variant's name was also inspired by there being 2 such pieces in total per side in the setup. Note that all the Berolina Pawns are protected in the setup.
