By NN I meant Nutty Nights. Sorry for the confusion. And I was not thinking about this. By definition the charging knight is a major piece. So is the charging rook, that should be obvious, and along with the colonel this means 3 major pieces. Although the colonel is probably weaker than the ordinary king or than the marshal!

The way I see it and I remember you commenting about this on wikipedia, HG (and us having this discussion a while ago) the order of the armies is NN>CC>FF>RR. But they are close. I like this game for the diversity though. In a private talk Vitya Markov has said that he think the RR are the stronger. I had never made this experiments, though.
