I noticed a few black spots in the upper-left corner of the Halfing Caridinal images. Would be nice if someone fixed and re-uploaded it.

At the bottom of this set, we have all the pieces for the Avian Airforce except the Darter, described here: 'Thus, the Darter: moves forward as narrow Knight, all directions as Wazir, and retreats as -- Alfilrider!! The Alfilrider retreat increases its value so it's a tiny bit stronger than a N, but the army as a whole needs extra strength and so it's okay. The riding retreat is not nearly so strong as a riding advance, and since long diagonal retreats are the moves that Grandmasters most frequently overlook, there's a certain charm to the choice.'
