That is until the recent update, I haven't got my head around a good way of valuing units in wits. Now it seems to be a lot more dependent on the situation. A runner you move out is usually worth 2 wits. But if opponent can move and kill it without consequences, it might only be worth 1 wit as it removes 1 wit from the opponent. These type of situations seems a lot more common with the wit for kill rule.

Some exchanges are still straightforward to calculate by thinking if your wit investment is less than the opponents though.

i think the officers are invaluable and their worth cannot be approximated with pawns.

I'm not a professional chess player but I always value every piece in chess including pawns. Unless I have some bigger plan I wouldn't let my opponent just kill a pawn without him losing another pawn or some other peice
