Why deal with politics when you can win your way to victory? Indeed, the backbone of any successful presidency will be the support of a strong military or militia. This section covers Revolution’s units, upkeep, movement and details.
a. Units
There are four units in Revolution: Infantry, Cavalry, Canons and Federalis. The following table describes the construction costs, upkeep and strength of each unit.
| UNIT | COST-UPKEEP | TURNS | ROLL | HP | SPECIAL | |
 |
Inf | $10 – $1 | 4 | 1d4 | 10 | +1 against Cav |
 |
Cav | $12 – $1 | 6 | 1d4 | 12 | +1 against Can |
 |
Can | $14 – $2 | 5 | 1d4 | 14 | +2 against Inf |
 |
Fed | n/a – $2 | 0 | 1d6 | 12 | +1 against all units & First Strike capabilities |
b. The Fort
There is one building in Revolution: the fort. Forts are high hit point buildings that require zero upkeep. Only one fort is can be built per territory, and forts cannot be repaired.
Units cannot garrison in a fort, and avoid attack or be safe in anyway. Units and a fort fight alongside each other when present in a territory. Forts also serve as territory “anchors” — that is, forts must be removed from a territory before that territory can switch hands.
| UNIT | COST | TURNS | ROLL | HP | |
 |
Fort | $50 | 10 | 3d4 | 80 |
