Setup Phase
Players start by arranging their pieces on their half of the board. The pieces are invisible to the opponent during the entire game.
The flag must be placed in one of the two headquarters and cannot move.
Bombs cannot be placed on the front line.
Landmines must be placed on the last two rows.
Gameplay Phase
Movement
Players alternate turns. Pieces move one space at a time along lines, or multiple spaces on Railroads.
Attacking
When a piece attacks an opponent's piece, the ranks are compared. Higher rank captures lower rank. Equal ranks destroy both pieces.
Special Rules

10: Landmines destroy any piece that attacks them, except Engineers. Engineers capture Landmines.
9: Engineers can turn corners on the railroad.
