Fugue. Based on Ultima and Rococo this game has pieces that capture in unusual ways. (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Jeremy, your interpretation is correct. I will state the rule more completely
for the benefit of others.
1. The Archer moves without capturing as a FIDE Queen (like most pieces in Ultima family games).
2. The Archer captures an enemy piece by shooting, that is, the player owning the Archer declares that a particular enemy piece is to be shot, then removes that piece from the board.
3. An Archer may shoot in any direction in which it may move.
4. An Archer may shoot an enemy piece which is adjacent to it without restriction.
5. An Archer may shoot an enemy piece two squares away from it in a straight line provided that the intervening square in that line is empty.
6. An Archer may shoot an enemy piece more than two squares away from it in a straight line if
a) the intervening squares in that line are empty, and
b) another piece friendly to the Archer is located adjacent to the enemy piece or two squares away from it in an unobstructed straight line (in any direction).
It is not relevant whether or not the other friendly piece could move to the enemy piece's square.
