Metaforge - Brigade

The Unit Table (Next: Game Play)

Piece	Classic	Barrage	UL	Peloton	RPS	Notes
Flag	1	1	1	1	1	This is the most important piece in the game. If an enemy captures your flag, then you have lost. Flags cannot move.
Marshal	1	1	1	1	0	This is your army's main killing machine. However, an enemy Spy can kill him if the spy strikes first.
General	1	1	1	1	0	This is your army's other killing machine. He's pretty tough for an old man.
Colonel	2	0	1	0	0	Very important pieces because often the game comes down to who has a colonel left.
Major	3	0	1	0	0	Great piece for mopping up enemy mid to low-level pieces. Watch out for the enemy's high ranking officers though!
Captain	4	0	2	0	0	A mid-level piece. In Ultimate Lightning, captains can move two spaces at a time, and diagonally.
Lieutenant	4	0	2	0	0	A mid-level piece. Good for probing attacks where it may kill a few miners or scouts before being sacrificed.
Sergeant	4	0	2	0	3	Generally weak, but good for hanging around bombs (or impersonating bombs) to kill enemy miners.
Miner	5	1	2	2	3	Except in One-Time-Bombs mode and Ultimate Lightning, miners are the only pieces that can destroy bombs.
Scout	8	2	4	2	0	The scout can move multiple tiles horizontally or vertically in one turn provided there are no obstacles in its path. In Range-Attack mode, the scout can multi-move and attack in the same turn. In Ultimate Lightning, scouts can remove bombs.
Spy	1	1	1	1	0	The spy is the only moving piece that can kill the Marshal, but the spy must attack first. If a Marshal attacks the Spy first, then the spy is killed. In SuperSpy mode, the spy can kill anything except a bomb as long as he attacks.
Bomb	6	1	2	2	3	Most pieces that attack a bomb will be killed. Usually, the bomb can only be removed from the game by a Miner. Bombs cannot move, except in RPS.
Total	40	8	20	10	10	Total pieces available in each game mode.
