For this game's 10x8 board I tentatively put P=1; EW=2.695(or 2.75 approx.); N=3.38(or 3.25 approx.); B=3.75; R=5.5; Q=R+B+P=10.25 and K's fighting value=3.2. This variant's design was inspired by my desire to use a symmetrically moving piece type along with a FIDE army, and Dr. H.G. Muller suggested that the Waffle(aka Phoenix) might be an interesting choice, if feasible. Fast castling rules are used in this variant to try to facilitate king safety and development. Note that all the pawns are protected in the setup.
