Stratego help?

Question

i need help on placing the pieces in good spots I know the game is very old but its a good game.

Answer 1

I've only played my family, but they usually surround the flag with bombs, so I usually set up a decoy area with a few bombs. My flag gets placed with my spy or a 2 or 3 to get rid of anyone if they get too close.

Answer 2

If you play against an aggressive opponent, sometimes you can throw them for a loop by placing your flag up front behind the water and throw a 7 behind some bombs in each corner to get their 8s.  Keep your spy and your 1/2 spaced far enough apart to cover the board if they get a big guy through your lines, but keep your spy closer to the center so that he can get their 1 if it comes close.

Answer 3

Get australia. Put all your men there. Then you can, eventually, take over the world.

Answer 4

Flag near the back with bombs and 4s covering and a 3 nearby.  Be ready with the 8s to advance on bombs.  Keep your 1 & 2 ready to counter your opponents advance.  Sacrifice your 7s and 9s for recon.
