Lieutenants

Lieutenants (6 (or 5 in the European version)) are medium-ranked pieces, and can defeat about half of your opponent's pieces. They are most often placed in the front and used for scouting at the beginning of the game, although they are very versatile.

Strategies
Lieutenants are very versatile pieces that are good for scouting, bluffing, or using as bait for lure traps. Almost anywhere is a decent place for lieutenants, but it is generally best to keep them away from places where they could be trapped.
