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. |
