At the moment I'm considering a piece type suggested to me by H.G., namely the Ferz-Threeleaper, for a possible 10x8 board variant (I had happened to think of this piece recently, by less systematic thought than H.G.'s, but I didn't give the piece type serious consideration as yet).
I saw on Diagram Designer a piece that looked like it might be a threeleaper figurine. I clicked on 'Properties' and learned it was referred to as a 'SiegeEngine'. Can anyone tell me for certain if that's another name for a Threeleaper? For what it's worth, the figurine had 3 wheels, and I noticed a similar figurine with 4 wheels was called a Fourleaper when I clicked on its properties.
A Threeleaper is also called a Trebuchet, I learned from a wiki (another wiki states that in real life a Trebuchet was a type of siege engine).
