It is quite easy to construct a real-world board using cardboard, scissors,
straight-edge and a felt-tip pen.  The disc can be made from the same
material.

And the visualization of the Cavalry leap is simply an orthogonal
translation to the second cell(a cell which is oriented in a similar
manner).  For example:
  
 /\  /\
/__\/__\
     
If a friendly piece is at the first, another such translation can be made
in any direction.  It is not meant to be equivalent to the FIDE leap. 
Since this is a triangle field, that particular form of leap is not
possible.  Its similarity to the Ko Shogi Cavalry leap in its ability to
use a friendly piece to continue its particular leap.
