Teams are split into infantry, cavalry and artillery, and each branch has its own rules; for example, only the artillery can capture members of the other side. Each team protects its flag, and every participant wears a 'freedom ribbon'. Lose your ribbon and you become a prisoner of war. Between rounds, teams negotiate prisoner releases and more, so diplomacy matters as much as attack.
