I can't afford the $40 price tag for something that can use existing chess

"Chess evolved over the course of history to emulate battle, but the rules
became static several hundred years ago at a time when individuality still
dominated the battlefield. Regimental Chess is analogous to the next
progression in military history, when the coordinated effort of battalions
and regiments in disciplined formations overtook the field."
