But, I still think certain territories are not possible to acquire.
The A-row and the H-row start neutral right?
G-2 can get to H-1 and H-3 but who can attack H-2? nobody.
How can you attack H-8? You cannot unless you hold A-8 but you cannot attack territory either
You got a point there.
This is what i'm gonna do:
Remove the special c2,c7,f2 and f7 pawns.
Black blocks on the b row can attack Up and Up-Forward (North and North-East).
White blocks on the g row can attack Down and Down-Forward (South and South-East).
That gives:
b1 can attack a1 and a2
b3 can attack a3 and a4
b5 can attack a5 and a6
b7 can attack a7 and a8
g1 can attack h1 and h2
g3 can attack h3 and h4
g5 can attack h5 and h6
g7 can attack h7 and h8
Black blocks attack the northern black blocks neighbors, and withe blocks attack the southern white blocks neighbors; both diagonally.
Starting positions can only be the b-row white blocks and the g-row black spaces (forget about the random starting positions betwen b and g rows.
Tell my if you like that or if you have any suggestion please.
