Räuber und Soldat

The game includes 9 white pawns (soldiers), 9 black pawns(soldiers), 2 red pawns (robbers).
At the bottom of the board place the soldiers, black on black and white on red. Their movement is only forward from space to space. The two robbers are placed anywhere on the towers of the robber's castle. They may march forwards and backwards to the next space, or vault sideways over a soldier to the next space, thereby capturing the soldier. The soldiers have lost if they no longer have enough white or black soldiers to fully occupy the castle. The robbers cannot be captured, but lose if the castle is occupied or if they are so surrounded by the soldiers that they can no longer move.
