To add an army, balance the sides because material must vary. The Immortal AntiClericals versus Fabulous F.I.D.E.s. The new idea for army is Immortal AntiClericals and they go: RNIQKbNR. There should be same-value forces where 'b' is Barrier Pawn of year 1948, http://www.chessvariants.org/large.dir/kristensens.html. 'I' is Immortal mediaeval Germanic Mann, the sub-piece variate of Man/Mamra suggested by Jeremy Lennert. 'Immortal' here moves and captures non-royal King-like and when captured belongs again to the capturee. Capturee later drops I. on line 1 or 2 vacancy. Since all Betzan Armies (unlike atoms) are equal, there can now be playable fair match-ups Immortal AntiClericals v. Pizza Kings and I. A. v. Nutty Nights, and so on, weigh in Betza willing.
