Give suggestions on which piece should move where. (i.e. A1 to A2) You can move a piece from either team. The most common move suggested will be used.

Blue team moves first.

Does "moves in all directions" mean it can move any number of spaces in any direction, like a Queen in normal chess, or just one space, like a King?

All directions, any number of spaces.
Like a Queen.

Oh, okay then. E10 to E6 instead. Also, are Long Reapers like Checkers pieces?

They jump over them. Can they jump over multiple ones, like, when there's an empty space, and then when there's one there, it jumps over it, and then there's another one right next to it with an empty space there. Can it jump over that one in the same turn?

If there are multiple empty spaces between a longleaper and an enemy, can it leap over all the spaces in between and the enemy as well all in one turn, or can it only leap over enemies that are immediately adjacent?

As long as there is one space between the enemies, the Long Reaper can attack all enemies in a continuous path in a single turn.

So basically they're exactly like Kings in Checkers, except that they can move orthogonally as well as diagonally, and they can move more than one space in a single direction if they're not capturing a piece?

They cannot move orthogonally (unless I'm mistaken on the word's meaning).
They can move any number of spaces no matter what.

Any more questions?
If no, I'll start taking suggestions.

you said they could move in all directions, i.e. both diagonally and orthogonally (orthogonally meaning not diagonally). I confused >_>

Darn it. Too bad this isn't real chess. It's the only thing I'm REALLY good at.

Wait, another question, can a pawn kill an enemy by surrounding it diagonally? Like if I moved C10 to C4, would the one that Lace moved be killed?
