Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Mike Calkoviks and Jeff Knight, 1993. Proprietary game from Scorpion Games. The army vanishes when king is captured. Last player surviving is the winner. Pawns capturing into side extensions change direction. You must escape check if you can. For now I have all promotions to Queen. I assumed liberal rules for castling.
