Can Stratego end in a tie?

Question

I just started playing Stratego and I am wondering if it can end in a tie? (aka draw).

Both my opponent and I were down to 2 movable pieces each, all bombs still on the board, neither player had a minor to get rid of said bombs. Each flag was surrounded with bombs with no minors how could anyone win? It seemed like it would just be those 4 remaining movable pieces chasing each other around the board all night long!? I understand that in addition to getting the opponents flag that if a player can not move any piece than that is a win as well. It seemed like neither was possible in this scenario?

Answer 1

Yes you can declare a draw if you and your opponent agree but your opponent would really know if the flag was surrounded by bombs.

Answer 2

yes, one man can attack another with the same points and the flag would still be there.

Answer 3

It sounds like a sensible thing to declare, but in the future use this to help you play better.
