Stratego (board game) question?

   I put the flag in the center back row. i place a 7 on either side of it and a 10 in front of it. then i place two 3's on the remaining spaces to form a square around the flag (this protects your 3's in case you need them late game to disarm bombs) I then form a triangle of bombs around the flag defense area trapping the 7's 3's and 10 behind them. i then use the remaining bombs and place them in the font row on the right or left side. i always put my 9 in the front row for quick striking in the begining. I usually use 4's and 5's as the second line of defense with 2's in the 2nd and last rows (last row in case you them late game).
   
   my straegy is based on defense. I attack with my 9 and simply wait for my oponent to waste a bunch of his men trying to figure out my plan. when his lines are thin i srtike with 8's and 9 to clear a path through left or right side. once the path is clear i bring more men and form a 'mini base' on my opponents side. he will then try to take out my concentration of men and as a result lose more of his offense. evetally it will be easy to tell where his flag is b/c he wont be moving pieces around it. and you go in for the kill

   There are some strategy videos on Youtube.  I would post them but as Youtube is a Google product, Yahoo won't allow it as a source.  
   
   The Youtube videos suggest setting up decoy flags, memorizing which of your opponents pieces don't move (either flag or bomb), and general strategy moves.  
   
   Good luck!

   Oh, i remember this game, my brother used to beat me easily at this game, but then i worked out a plan, which was firstly to make out that the bomb is in a different place by making all my other people attack the 'fake' side an make it look like it is on that side whilst attacking his people.
   
   Right so i just read over that and it sounds really confusing!
