I don't think it would be particularly fun.

Sacrifice a tower (I forgot the English name) to get access to a corner, then get the queen in the lower left/right corner within 3 moves.

Then pick up the pawns one after the other from behind. The pawns themselves cannot move quickly to the other side because they need to keep a "triangle" formation for safety which requires time to build up.

The word you're looking for is Rook.

Still, a good way to get rid of some troublesome pawns.

I'm not sure a sacrifice is even needed. You just need to get the queen to the backline and wreak havoc.

If they stay in formation you can always force a sacrifice. The pawns will always capture at least one piece.
