You have captured the enemy's Marshal!! Now your spy is useless... You've managed to grab the enemy's General! You just dusted off one of the enemy's Colonels! Nice. You nailed a Major. You've captured an enemy Captain. They don't live long in captivity... Good work. You've captured a Lieutenant. You captured an enemy Sergeant. Can we torture him now? That's an enemy Miner you've captured. Better frisk him. Wow. You captured a Scout. You've captured the enemy's top (and only) Spy. I suggest having him shot. You have succesfully defused a bomb! (Whew..) ******************** You've captured the Flag !!! *************************** OH-NO!! An enemy Spy has just shot your Marshal!! Now you're in trouble... Your General has been taken prisoner and probably will not be seen again. You've just lost a Colonel! (They don't make 'em like they used to) One of your Majors bites the dust. A once-loyal Captain has been seen with a high-ranking enemy officer. He's gone. Oops, you just lost a Lieutenant. A Sergeant has been captured. You hear his screams as they drag him away... One of your Miners just exploded. Another Scout eats it. Life is cheap for the common soldier. Tough luck. Your spy was double-crossed and captured. He's being shot at dawn. One of your bombs has been defused. Your booby-traps failed as usual... Your colors have been stricken, your flag lost. In a titanic clash, both you and your enemy have lost your Marshals. In a duel to the death, the opposing generals have shot each other. Two Colonels met on the field of honor. Neither saw the following dawn... It is a sad day when two fine, young Majors meet their match in each other. Your Captain and your opponent's Captain have defected together. Both lost. Both you and your opponent lose a Lieutenant. The fortunes of war... A Sergeant has killed an opposing sergeant (the other side tells it differently) Two Miners just blew each other up. Both of you lose a Scout. What a waste. Spy versus Spy. No one ever wins these. You have won the war!! The grim decimation of your ranks has prevented you from continuing the war. Your opponent's army has been ground into dust. You have won the war! The good news: The war is over. The bad news: You lose (your flag is captured) The clouds of war have lifted; the game is over. Blood and dust reign. Don't you realize that that stuff is quicksand?! Your man has killed himself. You have struck out at the enemy. Orders acknowleged. I'm sorry, that piece is not yours. Sorry, that piece cannot be moved once in place. Wait, there is no piece there!! Sorry,that man must remain bivouacked until there is a place for him to move. Please select a piece to move. And to where do you order this man? Treachery! You can't attack your own man! Sir, I'm afraid that that man is unable to move to the designated sector. I'm sorry, Scouts may only move horizontally or vertically. Scouts are fast, but they don't fly. (Can't leap pieces) It's your turn. You gain the initiative and shall move first. Your conservative style has allowed your opponent the first move. You have stricken your colors and surrendered to the mercy of the enemy. Your opponent has striken his colors and has called for quarter.
