I think the rooks should have to be pushed by a bunch of pawns

Any number of models that can fit or balance on the Battlewagon can be carried by it. Any models which fall off during play are judged to have actually fallen off and the normal rules apply.

I would love to see professional chess players give this a fair chance. The clock could stop when they declare their move verbally (ensuring that the game doesn't devolve into an endurance test) and start up again for the next player upon the move being completed.
