The Trebuchet...

non-attacking movement is limited to one square,

it cannot attack for one turn after moving or attacking,

it can attack any piece that is exactly 5 squares away,

it returns to the square it attacks from

Does it count as 5 squares away if its 4 in one direction and 3 perpendicular to that?

So it must be almost in a corner, because the distance of 5 is only x +/-5 or y +/-5

Or is it Manhattan distance?
