Interesting ideas, they would work, but I am traditional enough that I would
prefer having each piece for each side for each position mirror the other except
for some color designation.
I have a fairly decent size Fabuland population and I would not have enough to
do this... so for me, had i the skill I would do a virtual version...
Monkey vs. Lamb?... if you must... but certainly no slaughter of either.
This is Fabuland Land... each plays nicely and when gently tapped out, they skip
off to ice cream and a ride on the ferris wheel :-)
Pawns.. i am thinking mice.. fairly many exist... various color mice and various color shirts... do i have enough? alas, not even for one side..
