This game has some potential. It shows originality and creativity.
The rules are not overly complicated. My only gripe is that it is
too dis-similar from traditional chess variants and familiar pieces
but that is just my preference for CVs with more traditional chess-like
pieces. All in all though i wanted to say nice job. I don't have time
to volunteer my services as a judge for the contest but I will give
positive feedback on all games in the contest I hope get favorable
responses.
I find this game really enticing, and was surprised it didn't get a prize in the recent 84-square contest. The Flag-ignited Bomb is a great idea (although I have chosen another mechanism to launch the Bomb in my own Chess on a Larger Board with not-so-few Pieces Dropped) and the Tank is also a very good piece. As is usually the case with baroque capture, Zillions is a weak opponent, and I would like to try Invasion on the Game Courier. Would you mind if I made a preset for it?
The Paratrooper is unclear: can it jump over pieces with its flying move? Where does the Trooper promote: anywhere the opponent's pieces start, or just the grey box? Why can't it shoot, like the Commando or Paratrooper? Not being able to destroy an HQ with a Bomb doesn't make sense, other than to make it a longer game. All in all, this is a good, with the uniqueness of the pieces, and the unique way of making the board 84 squares.
