Thanks to all for their comments.

I have added a paragraph to the end of the rules section in an attempt to answer Doug Chatham's question.

With regard to the 'no pawns' loss condition, I see it as akin to the 'bare king' state which is used as a loss condition in several variants. It seems reasonable to me that a side without attacking potential should be deemed to have lost.
