The piece that turned a corner

An enemy piece turned a corner during a single railway move. Can you tell for sure which piece it is?

Engineer (1)

Only the Engineer can turn a corner on a railway in a single move.

The clue in a move

An enemy piece moved one space along an ordinary road. Which kinds can you rule out for sure?

Landmine and Flag

The Landmine and the Flag can't move. But a one-space move alone won't tell you the exact rank.

Don't jump to conclusions

Your Brigadier (6) attacked and was removed, but the enemy piece survived. That piece had just moved. What do you know for sure?

It's a ranked piece of 7 or higher

The enemy is a ranked piece: 7, 8 or 9. Don't assume it's the Field Marshal. Keep the whole range in mind.
