Ralph Betza, in his article on More Halflings, writes: 'A Halfling Rose can move to all the squares a Rose can move to! The only difference is that it cannot go past the halfway mark and return to its starting square, and therefore it does not attack most squares as often. The normal Rose attacks every square it can reach at least twice -- once clockwise and once counterclockwise -- and also attacks half of the squares it can reach four times, where the circles intersect. The Halfling Rose still attacks twice ...' [when the half-circles intersect] <p>Both pieces were intended for use on 12x12 and larger boards. I personally prefer a half-circle moving Rose to one capable of moving in a complete circle and ending its turn on the same square as it started from.
