Flying Armies is played on an 8x8 board in the style of 'crazyhouse' in which captured pieces can be dropped back as your own. There are lots of variants and over 50 different fairy pieces used. There are variants with the Grasshopper and Locust and also 'rifle' pieces. Also, on the 'army wars' zrf there are 4 different armies that play against each other. Pawns in all variants promote to Knight, Dabbaba or Alfil. Short descriptions below.

  • Flying Armies:
    26 variants with pieces from Shogi, Chaturanga, XiangiQi, Janggi, Leapers and Compound Leapers plus more. (right click on board to see all pieces - not all in variants)

  • Army Wars1 -beta1:
    4 different armies play against each other, Shogi, Chaturanga, Leapers (long) and ShatranjElephants (short range). Still in beta stage. See 'different armies' read me.

  • Grasshopper Locust:
    Wow the Grasshopper and Locust love games with drops! The Locust is mostly used in fairy chess problems, because it must make a capturing move to move! So a game with drops, well, let's just say the locust is super cool to see :)
    Also has the Nightriderhopper and 'Greater-Grasshopper' amongst others. There is 1 rifle shooter, GeneralZap, which has a '1 square sideways' rifle shot, please note that to capture by rifle shot you click on the piece you wish to capture. Also there are some fun variants on this zrf, check out '7 knights'!

  • Rifle:
    i love these variants. i made around 22 different pieces based kinda on XiangQi pieces adding a rifle capture to them. Leaping and sliding rifle captures! I made 12 variants with each piece at least in 2 variants. Still kinda beta but the tests i did played very well. The first variant is the one that i am worried about, because of the archer4 - see 'rifle-info' read me.
    Please note that to capture by rifle shot you click on piece you wish to capture.
