I would ask you some help for the implementation of two simplified Arimaa variants: the first two on this document:
arimaa.com/arimaa/learn/HomeRules.pdf

"To have the game finish faster, we play using just 4 rabbits and 2 cats
per side. In the setup move the pieces must be placed on the first row; in any arrangement. Gold sets up
first followed by silver and the game proceeds as normal. Even with such few pieces you will encounter
some interesting positions. This is a good way to introduce the game to a new player since all the Arimaa
rules will be covered and the game will be simple and fast. Another favorite combination is 5 rabbits, 2
cats and 1 dog per side."

Here http://arimaa.com/arimaa/download/zil/arimaa_090510.zip
there is an enhanched and optimized version of the zillions Arimaa (the version on zillions site is too weak), I tried to append the variants here attached but I found an error in the word "zone". I would to know the solution for implement these two variants.

Thanks

The problem is solved, I must add the entire "board" statement to the variants.
