Board size (home area) 6×4 9×3 8×4 Typically has "bridges" over a river, represented by the center of the board, with either straight, X, or Y shapes. Bridges are not counted as a separate row: the squares connected by the bridges are considered to be adjacent to each other. Military headquarters occupy the 2 or 3 squares in the center of the row closest to each player.

Engineer
工兵		 2 2 3 3 Engineers can move like a rook in chess, over any number of empty squares forward, backwards, left, or right, similar to the scout in L'Attaque and Stratego. They cannot jump over occupied squares.
Plane
飛行機		 11 2 0 2 The plane can move forward or backward any number of squares, or move left or right one square. It can jump over other pieces. Planes beat all pieces except flag officers (generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals).
Jet
ジェット機 		0 2 0 In the 25-piece game, the jet can move to any square except to squares occupied by friendly pieces or the opponent's marshal.
Tank
タンク		 10 2 2 3 Tanks follow the same movement rules as Cavalry for the 23- and 31-piece games; for the 25-piece game, they follow the same movement rules as Engineers. Tanks beat all pieces except generals, planes, engineers, and mines.
Cavalry
騎兵		 3 1 0 2 Cavalry can move forward two squares in a single turn, or use regular movement rules (one adjacent square). These pieces cannot jump other pieces when moving forward two squares. Cavalry only beat spies and engineers.
Artillery
砲兵 		0 2 0 Artillery follows the same movement rules as the Engineers.
Spy
スパイ		 1 1 1 1 The spy can only beat the general. For the 25-piece game, the spy follows the same movement rules as the engineers; for the other games, the spy follows the same one-square movement rules as the general and field officers.
Mine
地雷		 — 2 2 3 Mines are a single-use item; they are removed after being attacked, along with the attacking piece unless attacked by an engineer. Mines may not be placed at the entrances or exits to bridges. In the 8×6 example board shown, mines cannot be placed at B5, E5, B4, or E4.
Missile
ミサイル		 — 0 2 0 Movement is similar to the jet, unrestricted except to squares occupied by friendly pieces or the opponent's marshal. By itself, the missile removes all pieces in the four adjacent squares (forwards, backwards, left, and right) from where it fell, unless one of those squares is occupied by an opponent's missile, in which case only the two missiles are removed.
Atomic bomb
原爆		 — 0 1 0 Immobile unless adjacent to a missile, in which case the pieces can be moved together. When the missile enters the opponent's camp, all pieces in the eight adjacent squares (forwards, backwards, left, right, and diagonally) from the bomb's square are removed, unless one of those squares is occupied by an opponent's missile, in which case only the two missiles and the atomic bomb are removed.
Flag
軍旗		 varies 1 0 1 The flag's strength is determined by the piece behind it.
Marshal
元帥		 — 0 1 0 The marshal is immobile and takes the place of the flag for the 25-piece game. Vulnerable to attack only by a flag or senior officer, and only when there are no adjacent friendly pieces.

"駒や盤の取り方などは時代によって（あるいは製造元によって）多少異なるようです。第1次大戦後にはタンクや地雷が、第2次大戦後には毒ガスや飛行機、原爆が登場するなど、現実の戦争に応じて、次々と進化を遂げてきました。[Pieces and boards differ slightly depending on when or who manufactured them. After World War I, tanks and mines were included, and after World War II, poison gas, airplanes, and atomic bombs were added.]"
