I am surprised that this article was published. The English is rather poor, and I can hardly understand what the rules are. The layout is awful; there is an enormous disparity in the size of the various graphics. The Berolina Pawn is presented like it is a new invention for this game.

It seems the Shielders can push away pieces, but it remains unclear where these pieces then end up. This Diagram assumes you can push one piece, and it goes one square backward.
