Infinite/Musketeer Chess Hybrid

I was trying to think of a way to combine a couple chess variants, when this idea came to me. What if instead of starting with two hawks, we chose what pieces would start in the triangle pawn formations musketeer-style? It could also work to replace the chancellors, or even one of each.

Questions? Comments? Anyone want to try?

Sound very interesting, I would try.

I'd say choose from the ten shown on the musketeer chess website here.

Cannon, Elephant, Fortress, Archbishop, Dragon, Chancellor, Hawk, Unicorn, Spider, Leopard. Of course players can decide to use other custom pieces.

Look at my pic also you can google great auk. It's an extinct bird.

Yeah I'll play! How do you play the Musketeer variant?

Basically what happens is each player chooses a piece to replace the hawks in the jager units (triangular pawn structures). First, the white player names a piece, then the black player names a piece, then they take turns saying whether they want it to go in the left or right jager units, then play proceeds as normal. I would say that it shouldn't be allowed to use the hawk or chancellor, since both are already used. I think I have this all correct.

I didn't see your post before I posted, Waredude . You explained it easier .

I can do a blue board! I will need a png of the new pieces we'll use though

Does this work for you?

Also there's a link above for the piece rules.

They'll work fine  

You can chose pieces on your game thread, as it's technically part of the game.
