Halflings. Pieces that can travel at most half their usual distance.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

This would prevent it from ever reaching the four corner squares, but it could get everywhere else. It's mobility is 4.375 (2.5 if a Knight is 3, 5/6 of the regular Knight's mobility), exactly equal to a Long Knights, as it has the same number of moves from each square as a Long Knight.
