    What are the two colors of the pieces of the opposing armies?Stratego

      Red and Blue. The blue pieces have silver pictures and numbering while the red pieces have gold pictures and numbering.

    What is the name of the highest ranking piece in each army?Stratego

      Marshall. The General is second highest. There is no King.

      Corporal. There are no Corporals, or Privates for that matter.

    What are the only 3 pieces can kill the Marshall?Stratego

      Spy , Bomb, Marshall. The Spy must strike first or else he is killed. The Marshall dies if he strikes a bomb (a bomb cannot be moved), and if the Marshalls strike each other, they are both killed.

    What is the only piece that can move more than one square at a time?Stratego

      Scout. The Scout can move any number of squares, and is generally used on "suicide missions" to force the opponent to reveal the rank of his pieces.

    What is the only piece that is not killed by a bomb?Stratego

      Miner. Miners are valuable in that only they can defuse a bomb. There is no piece called the Bomb Squad Technician.

    How many Majors does each player start the game with?Stratego

      3. In addition, there is 1 Marshall, 1 General, 2 Colonels, 4 Captains, 4 Lieutenants, 4 Sergeants, 5 Miners, 8 Scouts, 1 Spy, 6 Bombs, and 1 Flag for a total of 40 peieces to each player.

    Which manner are the pieces NOT allowed to move?Stratego

      Diagonally. All pieces (except bombs and flags) can move 1 square forward, backward, or sideways, but not diagonally. The Scout can move any number of squares forward, backward or sideways, and you can move onto a square occupied by your opponent (thereby starting a challenge or battle), with the highest ranking piece staying there.

    What two obstacles in the middle of the board do both players have to move their pieces around?Stratego

      Lakes. Perhaps if there was an Admiral or Commodore, he could go through the lakes instead of around them.
