[Icehouse] Martian Chess Question

The rules regarding pawns state:

Pawns: The small pieces move one space at a time, in any direction, along the diagonal ­ like a cross between a Bishop and a Pawn in regular chess.

The ambiguity comes with the parenthetical "in any direction." Are these pieces *only* able to move along the diagonal, or are they allowed to move *both* straight and diagonally? I ask because this is my next Super Duper project.

Thanks for your time!
Aaron
