Not sure if this got through. Trying a second time:
Thinking more about it, I think there might be a (semi-)rational, and =
uniquely Klingon way of identifying each space on a {tlhInja 'echlet}. =
(Or should that be {tlhInja may' 'echlet}?)
Each player {SuvwI'} "warrior/combatant" throws the spindles which are =
traditionally {jav reD mey=92 HoS tutmey} "(regular) hexagonal prisms", =
but nowadays are just as commonly {buq'Irmey} "cubes." {mangghomDaj =
manglaH naSwI'} "the winner can arrange his/her army (the playing =
pieces)" or {ghol mangghom manglaH ghol 'e' chaw naSwI'} "allow the =
opponent to place his/her army (first)."
{mangghommey luwIv SuvwI'} "The warriors each choose their armies." =
(Traditionally coloured green & gold, but presumably others are available..)
Let's leave aside the number and names of the pieces, for the =
moment--and the likely fact that there are certain commonly seen =
arrangements.
Now, suppose that each {mIch} "corner" (lit. "sector") of the {'echlet} =
is designated {chan, 'ev, tIng je} with {chan} being the {mIch chIm} =
"empty sector." (At least at the begining of the game. As the game =
progresses, pieces may move into the empty sector.) Suppose further that =
the {ra'DIchHommey} "little triangles" (spaces) are numbered from the =
center outward. This give us {Hut ra'DIchHom} (nine spaces) that are =
exactly between and not part of any corner of the {'echlet}. They are, =
again numbering from center outward: {chan 'ev wa', chan 'ev cha', chan =
'ev wej; chan tIng wa', chan tIng cha', chan tIng wej; 'ev tIng wa', 'ev =
tIng cha', 'ev tIng wej je} We then have {jav ra'DIchHom} (6 spaces) =
that *are* a part of a sector and run down the {botlh} (centerline) of =
each. Thus, for one example: {chan botlh wa', chan botlh cha', chan =
botlh wej,...} and so on. The remaining {ra'DIchHommey} are designated =
by how far left {poS} or right {nIH} they are from {botlh}. Example: =
{tIng wej poS cha'} (Three lines tIng-ward from centre, two spaces left.)
This method of designation leads (in my mind, at least) to the following =
description of a move:
{tIng wej poS cha'Daq tu'lu' puvwI'. ra'DIchHom'etlhvo' 'ev cha' nIH =
wejDaq leng. SuvwI' Hurgh ghIntaq HoH.}
At SW row 3, left 2 there's a flier. From that space it moves to NW 2, =
right 3. The lancer is killed.
Whaddya think? ~quljIb
