They can eliminate other pieces (except mines) by jumping over them horizontally or vertically like in checkers. - Tanks are treated like infantry but with a 5 squares movement and "jumping" allowance. - Paratroopers are infantry which can once per game be moved up to 6 squares before being played - Engineers are infantry which can destroy minefields or when placed on a river square be used as a bridge by other pieces.
