I would hesitate to qualify the Man in Chieftain Chess as a Pawn. It is more equal in value to the other pieces than to their value difference. But it is certainly true that you start with very many of them. Accepting that it would be Pawn is tantamount to dropping any requirement on value, and consider their large number the only defining characteristic.
