| Army units |
Currently army units consist of infantry, cavalry, and cannon; worth 1, 5, and 10 "armies" respectively. In past editions there have been other variations. In 1959, wooden cubes were worth 1 "army", while oblong wooden pieces were worth 10 "armies". This was replaced in the 1963 and 1975 editions for plastic triangle pieces worth 1 "army" and plastic stars worth 10 "armies". In 1980, plastic Roman numerals I, III, V, and X were used as literal numerical representations of army units. This change was reverted in the 1990 version, in favor of the plastic triangles and stars of previous editions. In 1993, the infantry, cavalry, and cannon pieces were introduced and have been used ever since; though in varying designs. |
