I have to say after playing this game, I've gotten a great appreciation
for it. This is the best balanced 3 player chess variant I've ever
played. (And I've tried a few... mostly garbage...) Please note that as
in regular 2player Xiangqi the Generals may 'throw their spears'. Now,
when they are in the middle position they are actually able to check both
other generals at once! The middle ground is prime real estate and
generally quite difficult to hold for any prolonged time.

The only really difficult task is creating the board itself. It took me a
few minutes to figure out how to make a regular hexagon from scratch. ;D

I HIGHLY recommend this game.
