I agree with Greg's comments. While I do like the restrictions this game puts on passing, I don't understand why passing is needed in the first place. There appears to be no more need for it here than there is in Chess. Allowing passing doesn't seem to be solving any problem with the game, and on a board this size, where all the new pieces are short-range, I would think that players would normally want to keep moving rather than take the opportunity to pass.
