Helicopter
In Traditional Chess the Bishop moves diagonally and captures pieces by moving to and occupying the opponent’s square.
In Strattegee the Helicopter moves the same but attacks pieces by firing missiles from its position into the opponent’s quadrant. Additionally, the Helicopter, unlike the Bishop can fly through occupied quadrants, except those occupied by enemy aircraft.
