# Stratego Spritesheet Spec

**File:** `public/assets/images/stratego-pieces.png`
**Cell size:** 140 × 140 px
**Layout:** 6 columns × 2 rows, row-major (frame = row × 6 + col)
**Total frames:** 12
**Transparency:** required — each frame is a single transparent-background
character/emblem that the engine overlays on a coloured piece body it draws with
Phaser Graphics.

## How it's used

For every face-up piece the engine draws, in this order:
1. A rounded "medallion" body in the owner's colour (red = you, blue = AI) — code.
2. **This spritesheet frame**, scaled to ~78% of the tile, centred on the body.
3. The rank number in the **upper-left corner** (`1`–`10`, or `B`/`F`) — code.

So the art only needs to supply the **character/emblem** for each unit type. Keep
the subject roughly centred with a little headroom (the corner number sits over the
top-left). Design the art to read on **both** a red and a blue body — favour light/
neutral fills with dark outlines rather than red or blue dominant colours.

Face-down enemy pieces never use this sheet (the engine draws a generic back), so no
"card back" frame is needed here.

## Frame table

| Frame | Unit        | Rank | Notes |
|-------|-------------|------|-------|
| 0  | Flag        | —  | Objective; immovable. Corner label `F`. |
| 1  | Spy         | 1  | Defeats the Marshal when it attacks. |
| 2  | Scout       | 2  | Moves any distance in a line. |
| 3  | Miner       | 3  | Defuses Bombs. A pick/shovel reads well. |
| 4  | Sergeant    | 4  | |
| 5  | Lieutenant  | 5  | |
| 6  | Captain     | 6  | |
| 7  | Major       | 7  | |
| 8  | Colonel     | 8  | |
| 9  | General     | 9  | |
| 10 | Marshal     | 10 | Highest rank. |
| 11 | Bomb        | —  | Immovable; destroys any attacker but a Miner. Corner label `B`. |

## Notes

- Until this PNG exists the game is fully playable: the engine falls back to a
  code-drawn glyph (a flag, a bomb, or the big rank number with the unit name).
- A matching `stratego-pieces.psd` source is expected alongside the PNG, as with the
  other games' art.
- The game-menu icon for Stratego is `iconFrame: 46` in `game-icons.png` (authored
  separately, like every other game's icon).
