[@javieralmenara1254]

Wow, what a good match. This was a real "Blitzkrieg" encounter.

[@billybrad204]

I am just learning this game online. I am enjoying this game immensely! Will buy the board game used or new. I found this video amazing with these players!

[@napoleon2eme549]

​@@napoleon2eme549 I am just starting with Utube Play store version which just gets me into the ballpark of playing. It is fun and learning the basics.

[@javieralmenara1254]

They can also use the "Stratego QuickBattle" board which is another good option, and maybe also a more "QuickGame".

[@napoleon2eme549]

Yes but thw quick battle board offers less possibilities

[@javieralmenara1254]

@@napoleon2eme549 Oh, I see. Maybe someday I can share that Stratego experience there. That will be *really good*.

I played this game when I was a kid I loved it. I'm 54 years old now, but where the bombs and the miners to difuse them? It was a whole board of pieces when i played

[@napoleon2eme549]

This is indeed a 8 pieces format called barrage, but the main category, which you can find some games in my other videos is a 40 pieces games. Indeed miners are able to diffuse bombs. You can play on some websites, for example on strategus.appspot, where the latest videos were played.

[@kambizazimi4898]

poooof , mind blowing , very smart very professional . could you share the rule ?

[@napoleon2eme549]

You need to capture your opponent's flag which is one among 8 pieces. The other pieces follow the rank of the army but are unknown, the upper rank take the lower ranks, but the lowest rank can take the highest one. There is also one piece not moving which is a bomb, any piece going on it will die. As you say, it's a lot about bluffing!

[@michal55935]

I have no idea how to play that

[@Sir_Shmoopy]

instead of having 40 pieces you only have 8. Otherwise played as normal

[@John-rw5cx]

​@@Sir_Shmoopycan you pick any 8, or is it predetermined?

[@napoleon2eme549]

@@John-rw5cx The 8 pieces are as follow: 1 marshall, 1 general, 1 miner, 2 scouts, 1 spy, 1 bomb and of course, the flag. You can play the "barrage" gamemode online on strategus (search strategus.appspot play on google) Kind regards

[@freshrockpapa-e7799]

Why wasn't the flag in the far corner captured as soon as it was possible?

[@napoleon2eme549]

It ended up being the bomb, Axel seemed extremely quiet so I hesitated to go for the one just in front of it to check whether he was more worried, but he played well and his body language didn't betray him

[@ДмитрийЛисицер]

Я не сильно понял, извиняюсь. Вы в итоге проиграли? Если я правильно понял, Вы открыли бомбу и игра закончилась. У Вас не было больше фигур, которые могли передвигаться? Спасибо, если ответите

[@napoleon2eme549]

Hello and thank you for your comment! I had a 50-50 chance between bomb and flag and went on the bomb. After that game was lost as he had his marshal trapping my miner and his miner next to my bomb so that if I move marshal, he takes it. I could have tried to trade miners, but then he has position advantage and still 2 pieces vs 1

[@lukeit7949]

Never heard of that game

[@napoleon2eme549]

Now you did ;) hopefully you want to play it soon!

[@ellenripley4640]

How did the game end?

[@napoleon2eme549]

I lost this one on a 50-50 with my general

[@tee1532]

@@napoleon2eme549 It looks like you resigned? Why did you think you couldn't win anymore?

[@napoleon2eme549]

@@tee1532 I indeed resgned as I'd have had to move my pieces away letting miner go for the flag. He had position advantage anyway
