 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Stratego
| 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| 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 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 rank is not used in the game? | Stratego
|
Corporal. There are no Corporals, or Privates for that matter.
| What is the name of the highest ranking piece in each army? | Stratego
|
Marshall. The General is second highest. There is no King.
| 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.
| Which piece has the advantage of being able to move multiple spaces? | Stratego (1999)
|
scout. A scout can move multiple spaces. However, doing so will give away its rank. The best strategy is if a player is going to move that piece several spaces, to attack a piece on the same turn as making the long move.
| Suppose an opponent's flag is completely surrounded by bombs and you have no miners. Is it still possible for you to capture the opponent's flag or win the game? | Stratego (1999)
|
You can still win, but not by capturing the flag.. The only way for a bomb to be removed from the game is to have a miner, which has a rank of 3, attack the bomb. However, if the opponent has no movable pieces, then it is still possible for you to win the game.
| Each player begins the game with seven pieces that are what? | Stratego (1999)
|
nonmovable. At the beginning of the game, there are seven nonmovable pieces: six bombs and one flag. There are also 33 movable pieces for each player. During the game, if a player notices a piece not moving, it can be suspected that the piece is either a bomb or a flag.
| Which of the four pieces listed below has the lowest number on it? | Stratego (1999)
|
miner. The miner, ranked 3, is the piece with the lowest number out of the listed ones. The marshal is ranked 10, and is the highest ranked piece with numbers on it. The general is ranked 9, and the major is ranked 7.
scout. At eight pieces, a player has the greatest quantity of scouts. A player has one marshal, two colonels, and six nonmovable bombs. Scouts are among the lowest ranked pieces, having a rank of 2.
| What letter or number is the marshal given (in 1999 and more recent editions)? | Stratego (1999)
|
10. The marshal is given the rank of 10 and is the highest ranked piece among the pieces with numbers on them. A scout is given the rank of 2, and a major is given the rank of 7.
To capture the opponent's flag. The objective of the game is to capture the opponent's flag. This is accomplished by having any movable piece attack the opponent's flag piece thus winning the game. It does not matter how many pieces the opponent has left, just as long as the opponent's flag has been attacked, you have won the game.
Even though it's not the objective of the game, another way for a player to win is for all of the opponent's remaining pieces to be nonmovable.
| Are there any spaces on the board in which a piece can never move to? | Stratego (1999)
|
Yes. There are eight lake spaces on the board, four of which each form a lake. No piece can move onto those spaces. However, any other space can have a piece on it.
