Units
Every Paper Wars unit, from soldiers and tanks to battleships and fighter jets, with HP, movement, attack, defence and range.
Each army starts with the same units. Their numbers are below. These are straight from the game's rules, so they are always up to date.

- HP is how much damage a unit can take before it is destroyed.
- Move is how many movement points it has each turn. See Terrain for what each tile costs.
- Attack and Defence decide damage. See Combat.
- Range is how many tiles away it can attack, counted up, down, left and right.
- Can attack lists which kinds of unit it can hit. A tank can't shoot at aircraft, for example.
Land units
Soldiers are cheap and flexible. They are the only ground units that can climb mountains and still fight, and they can shoot at aircraft.
Medics can't attack, but they heal wounded land units next to them. See Healing and transport.
Tanks hit hard and take a lot of punishment, but they can't climb mountains and can't fire at aircraft.
Transports carry soldiers and medics quickly across open ground. They can't attack.
Sea units
Ferries carry land units across water, including tanks and transports. They can't attack.
Battleships have the longest range in the game. They can shell land and sea targets from a distance.
Aircraft carriers carry helicopters and fighter jets, and their guns can only hit aircraft.
Air units
Helicopters fly over any terrain and attack land and sea units, but they can't fight other aircraft.
Fighter jets are the fastest units and can attack anything, including other aircraft.
Aircraft ignore terrain when moving, but they never get shelter from it either.
