Any time a Pawn takes a double or triple step and passes through the capture square of an opposing Pawn, that Pawn may capture the opposing piece as if it had only moved one square.

This seems incorrectly phrased, as in case of a triple step the capture could also be performed as if the Pawn had only moved two squares. Perhaps it is best to say "as if it had moved to that capture square".

BTW, this game is very similar to Mexican Chess, where the Camels are called Conquistadores, and start between Knight and Bishop. On CVP Mexican Chess only appears as a Java Applet.
