Formation chess

So much material down .. shall I resign or shall I ask my kinfolk to play on for a couple of generations? (A joke they made about some larger shogi variant by the way.)

Thanks EvertVB. The formation concept is an excellent rule changes in chess (for big boards obviously). I need to scale down the number of games I'm playing, but if I do play it again, do you mind if I call it "Formation Chess - The Battle of Kadesh"? The Battle of Kadesh was a real battle between huge armies of chariots. It will give this game a real-world theme to draw upon, similar to what LEBisho has done with "The Siege of Dros Delnoch" (except that Kadesh was a real-world battle).
