The purpose of Dipole (and Forwards) Chess isn't to introduce new pieces, but add restrictions regarding normal movement of all pieces, to force the game to progress and reach a conclusion. The pieces have half the moves, they don't move half the distance. I write this as a serious reply assuming that George didn't write his reply as an attempt at dry humor.
Halflings move half as far as their normal counterparts rounded up. Do Forwards and Dipole pieces of Rich Hutnik have about half their normal movements, like Betza's Halflings?
[Later: ''Do they not...?'' is what is meant rhetorically, because obviously they are all about half.]
