I somewhat doubt that George H. will sell sets for this one, since the
rules presented here contradict the rules he published for Tenjiku Shogi
at a couple of points.  First, under Hodges' rules, the ranging pieces
could not capture or leap over pieces higher in the heirarchy, while as
presented here the ranging pieces may not leap over higher pieces, but may
capture them.

Second, this document sort of re-ignites the Lion Hawk controversy. 
George Hodges' rules let the Lion Hawk leap to any square within two
spaces, but when Colin Adams published his book on the Tenjiku Shogi
opening, he noted that it made more sense if the Lion Hawk (a promoted
Lion), had full the full doublemoving Lion power.  This translation says

'The Lion Hawk, as in Tenjiku Shogi, may move like the Lion or leap to
any square which would be attacked by the Lion.'

'move like the Lion' is Colin Adams' interpretation, while 'leap to
any square which would be attacked by the Lion' is George Hodges...
