  • The text mentions the additional Rook, Bishops, and Knights, but doesn't quite agree with the earlier section that these pieces are optional, or that they're specifically put to the player's left. (If you're still trying to decide whether to use these pieces, I'd vote no.)

I made both diagrams in a hurry and I wasn't sure which version would be better. Ok. I'll remove the extra pieces from the corner. 

The Berolina and Chinese "Pawns" are basically Stewards, aren't they? I'd suggest replacing the Berolina Pawns with Stewards, at least, so the name matches up with the move; perhaps the Chinese Pawns could be replaced with Anti-Pawns (which move just like orthodox Pawns, but backwards; I think others call it the Reverse Pawn).

The Hnefatafl game had some kind of Pawns and I would like to stick to that for estetic purposes.
