There are several ways to cure this. The simplest would be to switch to making all types with the counterStrike property temporary iron after one of those is captured by a piece without this property. A more subtle (and more versatile) approach would be to assign piece types to 'groups', and make all types in the group that was captured temporary iron. This could be done by introducing a parameter group=N, which would then put pieces of that type in group N. (With as default every type being in a group of its own, so that in Chu Shogi only the +Kn would have to be assigned the type number of the Lion.)

I could also use the counterStrike parameter itself for this, giving it a different meaning when used after pieces have been defined: currently counterStrike=N would endow type N with the property, but after a piece definition it could assign the preceding type to group N. This method is already used for antiTrade (which defines relative ironhood), so it might be the best solution.
