I am aware that Game Courier is not well equipped to handle this game. 
It's actually one of those games which was designed to be played with...
get this... ACTUAL, PHYSICAL PIECES, IN REAL LIFE!

*waits for everyone on the CVP to gasp*

Anyways, to answer your other questions:  'Clear' refers to the clear,
colorless pieces, while 'translucent' refers to the colored pieces. 
Opaque means either black or white, not clear or translucent.  Orientation
is a term borrowed from videogames, to mean an orientation with a single
part of the Spectrum, analogous to having an elemental orientation.  And
the number of Pawns and Drones which can be stacked depends on their
function, be it to determine the owner of the piece, in which case the
answer is one, or to determine how much health a piece has or how many
spells left a Cleric has, in which case the rules should clearly state the
number, unless I have forgotten something.

And the references to VMO should still point to the link.
