Puzzle Chess Men & Checkers - Remix

After posting my Remix of Puzzle Chess Board, I printed out the Chess Men that pbreeden0 designed. Now, I've already stated that I liked the nice simple lines of the design, but after printing all of the pieces I realized that it was hard to distinguish the difference between the Rook and the Bishop. Also, (after checking the facts) I realized that a standard King is supposed to have a Cross on the top of his crown.

With this information in hand, I made some slight modifications to these three pieces. The Rook's crown was made to look more like a Tower Top, the Bishop received a Miter Hat, and the King got his Cross.

With this accomplished, I decided that as long as I had a Chess Set - why not have a Checker Set too.

I designed a simple "stackable" checker, that I believe matches up with pbreeden0 chess men. I am including the files for the Pawn, Knight, and Queen - but no changes were made to these pieces.
