The Satrap is now replaced with the Squirrel; and I've rearranged the pieces on the list, the tables, and even the setup board so that rotary companions are together. I also added a few quick notes explaing some of the new pieces' names. Hopefully that makes things a little easier for you (and folks like you), Bn Em.

I almost went with a Turtle instead of the Squirrel, since the move (Q4AD) fits with the theme better; and I may still go that way even though there are already a lot of new and obscure pieces in this set.
