Anti-Circe: After a capture the capturing piece (Ks included) must immediately be removed to its game array square (necessarily vacant, else the capture is illegal). Captures on the rebirth square are allowed. Game array squares are determined as in Circe: R, B & S go to the square of the same colour as the capture; Ps stay on the file of capture; fairy pieces go to the promotion square of the file of capture.
Sorry, I wrote a nonsense. But it is still possible to save one unit (C+):
White Pa7 Kf3 (2)
Black Rd8 Bc7 Pe7 Re4 Qf4 Kh3 Sc1 (7)

Sorry, I have read Ladislav’s comments only today. I like his version, with a good saving of three units. What do you prefer, Ladislav: a) to consider your version separately from my original? or b) to have it corrected as our joint composition? (of course, if Julia agrees.
My contribution to the problem is small. I would prefer the second option, but do I deserve it?

Hi Ladislav, I would be glad to have the problem corrected according your proposal, therefore I consider important your contribution: OK for the joint composition! I will contact Julia for the related action in the magazine.
Nice, though unmatching solutions. Pity it could not be minimal.
pc2->d2; -Bd1; -pe2. (2+8) 3n4/P1b1p3/8/8/4rq2/5K1k/3p4/2n5
After -Bd1 is wK under chess…
