Figure 1.—If the Artillery on square 21 is moved to square 22, the Artillery on square 26 can take it, or move out of range. If the Artillery on square 26 takes the Artillery moved to square 22, then it could be taken by the Cavalry on square 20, or the Artillery on square 23. If it, on the other hand, moves to square 27, it could be taken by the Artillery on square 23; and if it is moved to square 24, 25, or 31, it could be taken by the figure on square 30. But if it is not moved at all, then the Artillery moved to square 22 could take it its next move.

Figure 2.—Shows how the figures of the game can be moved.

“Cavalry can be moved one, two, or three squares, in any direction, at the discretion of the player,” provided the way is not obstructed by another figure. For instance, the Cavalry on square 15 could not be moved to square 12, because the figure on square 13 intervenes. Nor, if the cavalry is moved to square 37, could it afterwards be moved to square 35 or 34, while a figure occupied square 36. If the Cavalry on square 15 is moved to square 37, it could afterwards be moved to square 29, 21, or 12, or to 22 or 6, or to 30, 23, or 15, or to 38, or to 45 or 53, or to 52, 65, or 76, or to 44, 51, or 57, etc.

“Light Infantry moves one, two, or three squares, directly forward, right or left obliquely, and one or two squares in any other direction, at the discretion of the player.” Now, if a piece of Light Infantry occupies square 36, it could be moved directly forward to square 51, 64, or 75; left obliquely to square 43, 50, or 56; right obliquely, to square 44, 52, or 59; to the left, to square 35 or 34; obliquely to the left and rear, to square 28 or 20; to the rear, to square 21 or 5; obliquely to the right and rear, to square 29 or 22; and to the right, to square 37 or 38.

“Infantry of the Line moves one or two squares, at the discretion of the player, in any direction.” If a piece of Infantry of the Line were on square 13, it could be moved either to square 29, 44, 21, 28, 12, 5, 6, 14, 22, or 30, etc.

“Artillery moves diagonally, one, two, or three squares at a time, at the discretion of the player.” A figure of Artillery being on square 9, could be moved to square 1, 2, 17, 24, 31, 18, 26, or 34. If it were moved to square 31, it could then be moved to square 39, 47, or 55, or back to 24, 17, or 9, etc. If a piece of Artillery occupied square 51, no figure of the opposite party, except Artillery, could be placed on square 58, 65, 73, 57, 63, 70, 43, 35, 27, 44, 37, or 30, unless that square were next to the Artillery of the other side. See rules of the game relative to Artillery, page 6.

“The Wagon can be moved one or two squares at a time, at the discretion of the player.” The Wagon being on square 11, could be moved to square 3, 4, 20, 28, 19, or 26, etc.
