Blades - a Trigonal Chess Variant

Introduction

This CV is a testbed for ideas arising from my investigation of Trigonal Boards.

Proposed Board

The board consists of 120 trigons giving it a size category of 4 (Large). Its overall shape mirrors the third iteration of the Koch curve or snowflake. There are two sides, Red and Blue, with Red moving first.
Each side starts with 30 pieces:

Icons		Name	Number	Movement
		Dagger	15	Adjacent Forward, Step Back
		Axe	4	Leap 2 steps - theKnight's move
		Cutlass	2	Edgwise i-slider + Axe
		Sabre	2	Apical i-slider + Axe
		Katana	1	Cutlass or Sabre
		Flamberge	2	Apical a-slider
		Rapier	2	Edgwise a-slider
		Lance	1	Rapier or Flamberge
		Claymore	1	Single step in any direction

N.B. i-slides have a maximum of 3 steps; a-slides have a maximum of 5 steps
