Don't waste twos early on save them for mid-game.
6, 5, 4, 2s should go in the front row, however limit to just 1 six in the front row. Flag should always go in the back row and be protected by bombs. This may not be good for you but it's how I roll and how I win xDītw it's an old school set so bear with my strategy :DĪll I can say now is enjoy the strategy and the game ) Instead, have your scout see what the piece is then determine whether to take your miner or 4-7 to attack that piece. 
Even though it could be a bluff (like the non-moving piece could be a bomb or 1-S ) just don't attack them. Place further 4s to the right and left of the bottom X corners).ĪLWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have your spy with your general, this way when your general is taken out by a marshal (obviously) take your spy (next to your general which is now next to the marshal) and kill him.Ī lot of people actually have their 9s in the front which is not a bad idea, but it's also not a bad idea to have a number like 4-7 as infantry. (make an X out of bombs, have the flag below the middle bomb, your marshal to the right of the middle bomb, your 3 left of the middle bomb, and your 4 on top of the middle bomb. NOTE: This is an old school set so bear with my strategy if you have the new ones.Īll of y'all's strategy is good, but I have a good one too :) For example, if you're able to determine they've never used or played against the semi-random bomb setup, you're very likely to win if you use that set up. If you're playing someone for the first time, it's important to get a sense of how much they've played and what bomb strategies they employ, if they're willing to tell you. If your best pieces are too far back and separate from each other, you'll be at a big disadvantage to the player who comes barreling through your front ranks with a concentration of good pieces. I've found that more important than flags/bombs is the placement of your best pieces (1, 2, 3, 3, and Spy in the old, original version). Usually ignored/avoided, though I'm usually also protecting it with a I've won most times I've done thisīecause it is unexpected and is assumed to be a bomb, which is then I also occasionally do something truly wacky like place the flag in.

In order to avoid being predicable, I tend to rotate between the following types of setups: If I play someone who always surrounds their flags with bombs, I'll beat them almost every time because discovering the location of a bomb (or better yet several bombs) means there's a good chance the flag is nearby. If you play the same person more than once, the most important setup strategy is to avoid being predictable. Also the miner is sure to be gobbled up as soon as it defuses one of the mines to clear a path. If the other player is set to attack all three fronts evenly it can throw a kink in their plans as they need to move a miner in to clear the way. I also commonly pick one of my three entrances and double bomb it off. Many players will assume that the flag is in the back row and go charging past that ignored Lieutenant or Sergeant. One of my favorite ploys is to leave the flag behind one of the lakes unprotected, or protected only on one side or both as not to be conspicuous. Setting up dummy flags with a Sergeant in wait for a miner is also common. It is still a good idea to protect a flag on as many sides as possible with mines. Both are excellent strategies with the weakness being predictability. Corners are also great because they only require two bombs instead of three to cover. In general, common logic is to keep the flag in the back of your field surrounded by bombs. Many good strategies can work once but not regularly. There is no hard and fast answer for a good placement in Stratego, in part because as soon as someone learns your regular setup they can easily counter.
