Jared: Are you still going to have the two armies start on opposite edges
of the board? That was what prompted me to orient it as I did in my
diagrams, rather than the usual idea of a tetrahedron resting on its base.
I look forward to seeing your variant.

One could also use the basic rhombic dodecahedron grid as a playing space
with something other than a tetrahedron as the overall shape of the board.
For example one could chop off the corners and make either an octahedral
board, or (by chopping smaller pieces) a board with 4 hexagonal and 4
triangular sides. I calculate that an order-6 octahedron would have 146
cells.
