273. Left Berolina Pawn, and 274. Right Berolina Pawn. I had a kind of weird day yesterday; among other things, I hadn't selected a Piece of the Day for today, and as I was hunting around the best I could find was a two-piece pair. Since it was late in the day, I decided to just wait for morning and do them together.
While I was compiling the Icon Clearinghouse, I came across images for these two pieces, but without any clue as to how they were supposed to move. So, I made my guess: I simply turned the standard Berolina's movement 45 degrees.
That gives the Left Berolina Pawn a non-capturing move of 1 space orthogonally forward or to the right, with an optional 2-space move as an opening, and a capturing move of one space diagonally forward and to the right. (mfrWcfrFimfrnD)
And of course the Right Berolina Pawn does the same thing to the left. (mflWcflFimflnD)
As usual with such pieces, "left" and "right" refer to where the pieces should be placed in the lineup, not the direction in which they move.*
The models are just modified Berolina Pawns, with the head not represented by the name (right on the Left Berolina, and vice versa) replaced by a triangular block pointing forward.
*I'd originally done that the other way around, leading to the discussion in the next couple of replies.
