No, that is not what "more moves per turn" means. You just give a choice between more moves, but the player can play only one of those. In Progressive Chess you would be able to move 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... different Pawns each turn.

You're way ahead of me there. Instead of two fields, the pawns can now conquer 6 fields. How else would you call the increase "progressive". What is your term?

What H.G. is getting at is that your Pawns can still only conquer 1 of those 6 fields at a time. They're not "Progressive" in the way that he's saying; they're just more powerful. That's why I suggested calling them Power Pawns. Jean-Louis' suggestions of Augmented or Enhanced would work too.
