Maybe it is better if I explain what I want to do.

So there are these two pieces (in position 12 and 13):

  lightcannon:X:mRcpR:cannon:a4,n4,,a11,n11
  heavycannon:Y:pRpafcpR:warmachine:a2,n2,,a13,n13

The rule I want to implement is that heavy cannons cannot jump, be jumped, captured or be captured by other cannons. My captureMatrix looks like this:

  captureMatrix=////////////11$$./11$$./

but probably I got it wrong.

Note the heavy cannon is a bit more than a korean cannon is as it can jump two platforms in order capture, but not move.
