Syrupy Soldiers

Came up with some preliminary unit types and distribution for 4 players for my Candy Land reconstruction game, in a handy visual aid.



Naturally this would need some play testing for balancing, but the basic idea is this:
Whenever an equal number of forces meet, they are both removed. When one side is stronger than the other, only the loser removes his pieces, giving the winner a chance to advance on his next turn.

King Kandy's Knights are equal to 2 foot soldiers, but follow all normal rules of movement otherwise.
Most units will have to stop at a space where there are other units, even if the player picked up a card that would move him beyond these soldiers. Princess Lolly's spies may ignore this rule.
Gloop doesn't have special units, instead relying on superior numbers of footmen.
Lord Licorice's Legionnaires can push units back at one unit per legionnaire, breaking enemy formations, i.e. a legionnaire moving into a space with 2 footmen can make one of them move into the space behind it, leaving one in the space it is occupying. If it also came with a footman, the Licorice player would win.
