. (of course, the sautoir must be an opposing unit and the square just behind it must be free)

h#4(0+5)
🨐b1, e3, f3, f5: andernach mooses
b) 🨐b1-->f6
c) 🨐b1-->h7

playing like a Grasshopper following the path of a Queen, makes an angle of 45 degrees from the sautoir,
. in relation to the arrival box of a Grasshopper.
Moose b1 can go to g5 (sautoir f5) because the angle g6-f5-g5 is 45 degrees. The same applies to f6.
. makes the sautoir change colour (unless it is a King)
Andernach is a tribute to the congresses that popularised the colour change.
Thus, the move Eb1-g5 makes the Moose f5 white. In the same way, Moose f3 can move to e6 (or g6) because f6-f5-e6 = 45 degrees.
. And there again, Moose f5 becomes white ipso facto. For a very short ride, Moose's march is that of the Knight.

5 - 2# patrol

patrol it is necessary to be supported by a unit of one's side to capture or give check.
The b4-pawn does not check, being unsupported. And 1 Rxb5? is illegal.
