The way in which the Generals have been extended seems haphazard. Surely the Silver should be able to make any diagonal move and the Gold only the four forward ones. This would be consistent with the 2d rule that Gold is orthogonal plus forward diagonal and Silver ther reverse. As the simple extension into 3d increases Silver moves by 8 to 13 but Gold only by 4 to 10 I can quite see a case for adding the four forward triagonals to the Gold as well, but the simple extension seems quite adequate for the Silver.
