Regimental Chess reviews

Regimental Chess-A non-standard version of chess with ingenious rules. At creation of chess data developers have tried to transfer on them the simplified tactics of fight of times of Napoleonic wars. That is, the Cavalry (horses) beat the Infantry (pawns) from the flank and attack the artillery located in the rear. The infantry is shot by a volley in a frontal battle. Artillery throws the infantry standing in the middle of the field. So in these chess we move not individual figures, but their formations. If you decide to play I advise you to first study this video instruction from the razslaves: https://youtu.be/MKw0TTNbG_U Game is sharpened under online against a live opponent (which Fig will find, because online is almost empty), or local game on one computer (if you find The masochist who decides to learn these rules). No Bots, learning too. The Differences from standard chess are as follows:-You can play on several boards. That is, the boards are connected to each other and one long field is obtained. -Initial arrangement of figures is close to the military formations of Napoleon's times, so that the arrangements are different, but all differ from the standard arrangement in two rows. -As we move more than one piece of the formation, the number of figures is also different from the standard chess. For example, one of the standard formations-this 4 rook arranged square and moving synchronously, the other-is 2 rows of pawns. The Maximum number of figures under 300 is that there is hell and tin. -All shapes and formations with the exception of pawns move as in standard chess. For example, the formation of the rook moves horizontally and vertically across the field, elephants diagonally and so on. Pawns move initially only forward straight and diagonally. After The pawn reaches the edge of the field, it can move in an arbitrary direction. In the case of non-standard formations the figures move on the basis of common features-that is, attach the rook to the pawns-the whole structure moves only forward, and on one cage. The horses can be formed with each other and with no one else. -the rest is the same as in ordinary chess. As a result: I hesitated to put a finger up or down, but chose all the same downwards, for the given chess are calculated no more on ordinary players, and on very rare fans of chess exotics. Those who do not play chess, this game is especially not like, it is better to try simple chess. Generally interesting idea, but on a very rare lover, alas.
