Fighter
In Traditional Chess the Queen moves in any direction and captures pieces by moving to and occupying the opponent’s square.
In Strattegee the Fighter moves the same way, but attacks pieces by firing missiles from its position into the opponent’s quadrant. Plus, the fighter can fly through occupied quadrants, except those occupied by enemy aircraft in flight.
