'Any up to four pieces within a 'box' formed by any four cells may move
in concert with the seniormost piece--the 'leader'--moving as he does in

travel under his auspices for that move.'
I call it the Squad Move, and I think it's a lot of fun. If properly done
it enables compound captures and sudden, nasty surprises. It works well in
Imperial and Jetan-Sarang, but I think those games have so many unknown
pieces in them that many people are hesitant to try them, so how 'bout in
a game everyone knows already?
Would anyone like to try it with standard Chess, or maybe Double Chess?
We'll have to find a preset that doesn't enforce rules. Any takers?
