Kongo Shogi set

I made a set of pieces for my variant "Kongo Shogi"

As you can see I have two different types of pawn and a center front row piece. The pawns moves: a regular pawn move and the other type as a forward one space diagonal move.

The center front row piece moves as a gold general.

The back row moves from center out:

King piece in the center moves like a king in any chess type game. The pieces next to the king on either side move like 横行 and 竪行 in chu-shogi.

Then the next piece moves is a shogi like 桂馬 move with the added back one space move.

Last the "Rook " pieces do just that, move like rooks.

The promoted sides. The promoted center front piece moves like a 龍王 in shogi.

The promoted "normal" pawns move forward sideways or diagonally back one space.

The promoted other pawns move orthogonally one space in any direction.

I may have to give the "桂馬" type piece a promoted side as well other wise it will become very weak once it reaches the other side of the board.

The rules are still in flux, so any ideas are welcome.
