In addition¸ there are Counters and Markers that represent Civilians¸ Caches (Rice¸ Medical and Munitions)¸ Bunkers¸ Trench¸ Foxholes and Tunnel Entrances¸ Traps¸ Mines. Units have a Quality Value and Combat Units have Fire Power and Weapon Range. Vehicles¸ Helicopters and River Ships also have a Defensive Modifier (armour). The Infantry Units consist of one to four men¸ which affects the possible boarding in Helicopters¸ Vehicles and Ships as well as for losses. The game's engine is a Random Activation in which players activate Leaders and Units to perform Actions. Typically for each Activation¸ a Player will draw an Activation Marker from an opaque container (such as a cup). This Marker will indicate which Player (Camp) can perform an Activation. The Activation Marker can be used to activate a Leader and all Units within its Command range (6 hexagons)¸ either to activate all Units in a hexagon or a single Unit. A player can also "Pass" his Activation (no Actions)¸ then an upcoming Activation Marker is drawn from the cup.
