I might've known there would be a problem somewhere... :-D

First of all, let's call the piece that combines Reaper and Aanca a
'Reapaanca'. Well, if 'Gryphaanca' is good enough for Ralph Betza (for the
piece combining Gryphon and Aanca), then 'Reapaanca' is good enough for me.
So there. :-D (Besides, we can change it later...)

Now for promotions: let me add a third possibility to the list. When a pawn
promotes...

1. It may be set to either capturing or non-capturing mode. Player's
choice.
2. It must be set to the mode that the promoted piece type normally starts
in; for example, capturing mode for a Flipping Reaper.
3. It is set to non-capturing mode if it moved to the last rank with a
non-capturing move, and capturing mode otherwise.

All seem playable, so let's take option 1 for simplicity. The player may
always choose which mode the promoted piece starts in.

By the way, I haven't done any playtesting with this army yet. I want to
make sure it is at least CLOSE to the right strength before I make it an
official submission. Anyone for a game? :-D
