win the game by digging through the wasteland of dead pieces to reach your opponents king or claim the hill

this simple looking variant has many diverse strategies including rushing at your opponents king with sergeants sneaking your queen through the sergeants to reach your opponents king seizing the centre to claim the hill or promoting a passed sergeant to get a large material advantage

although it looks simple this game has a lot of potential with a lot of the tactics found in normal atomic without the openings that give white a huge advantage

Status: Declined

This variant has a big advantage if not a forced win for white, which can push their a and b pawns to exploit black king's position, shown in the following games (https://www.chess.com/variants/custom/game/100386951/24/1). For a revision we recommend making the area around the king more protected and playtesting the variant more for potential first move advantage or forced wins.
