I designed an army called the Alacrious Alternators (An army where pieces each have 2 movement capabilities, alternating between them). In which, the Rooks are replaced by R/GAF Alternators and I could checkmate with it in KRK endgame even against 4 ply diagram AI, so I'd assume it'd be easier with R/fsRbWbF/BD/R4 Cycler.
