Current setup: https://ibb.co/zJF20hx

Major B4

I’ll put a Scout on a4 and here is the current setup: https://ibb.co/nzYP63C

Major @ d2

Scout to F2

This setup is abysmal

I think the setup is still potentially playable (despite Sevenseas’s best efforts lol). Colonel up and over is mandatory, but the side with the flag looks a lot like the weak side and maybe that will keep it safe. A blitz down that side could be a disaster though... The Spy could potentially be quite tricky if it doesn’t get sniped in the first few moves. Obviously still a lot of pieces left, but it might not be that bad...

I’ll put a Miner on f1. Here is the current setup: https://ibb.co/SRMw3Ks

There is a piece on A4 already.

Sergeant on E2

I’ll put another Miner on g1. Current setup:




For the next setup, I will work on making the pictures viewable without clicking on a link every time. This should make it a lot easier to keep track of pieces and available spaces, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.

Also, I think I will work on making a list of the needed pieces to complete the setup, since the Board Editor has no such feature. I think this will also be quite helpful once we get to around 30 pieces and higher, because making sure we have the appropriate numbers of each piece can be kinda tricky at times. This is going to be a lot more work though, so setup updates may not come as fast.

Edit: Cool, I figured out how to get pictures to work without a link! Sorry that it’s going to take up extra space, but I resized it the best I could.

Captain to G3

Just include an image link like i did with the diagram.
1 Post on a site like imgur
2 When posting here create an image link, it will show directly here then.

Thanks! I figured out how to get the pictures to work! It will take up a bit of extra space now, but I’ve resized the pictures as best I can to keep them as small as possible, while still staying readable.

Time for a miner on C1 then

I’ll add another Miner on d1. Here is the current setup:



We still need:

3 Scouts
1 Miner
2 Sergeants
3 Lieutenants
1 Captain

Edit: Updated picture because Morx made a choice right as I was posting an update. This picture is now correct.

Miner on D3

I’ll put a Serg on A1. Current setup:



We still need:

3 Scouts
1 Sergeant
3 Lieutenants
1 Captain

H2 Lieutenant

Scout on B2

I’ll put a Scout on B3. Current setup:



We still need:

1 Scout
1 Sergeant
2 Lieutenants
1 Captain

A2 Capt

A3 Sergeant

I’ll put the last Scout on H3. The last 2 spots are both Lieutenants, so our setup is complete! I’ll post the final setup shortly, and then we are only waiting on KnightofPepsi to record a match with it (assuming he still wants to). If not, then we will have to wait for another volunteer.

Alright guys, here is the final setup:



Special thanks to Morx for creating the Board Editor, because I probably would not have been able to organize this without it (at least not as easily, anyway). Also, thanks to everyone who participated!

Sorry to those of you who tried to put pieces in locations that already had pieces, and thus, didn’t get to actually choose a piece in this setup. Towards the end of this setup, I learned how to make pictures viewable without a link, so hopefully we won’t have that problem next time. I’m not sure when the next Community Setup thread will be made, but stay tuned for that!

The next thread I make will probably be a poll thread for various rule suggestions and whatnot. I thought this setup turned out somewhat decently, but I’m curious to know what rule suggestions you guys would like to see. If you have a suggestion, then I’d like for you to comment it in this thread. Then, I will gather all of the suggestions and put them all in the poll thread (probably like a week from now). If any rule suggestion has at least 10 votes and a 66% or greater approval after a week of the poll thread being up, then I will add that rule for the next Community Setup.

If I post Stratego videos on this forum, do they have to be played at stratego.com?

I’m not sure if playing on an alternative site would count as a “website referral” (which would be against the rules). I did see games recorded on the old forum that were from an alternative site, but the rules for this forum could be different.

We are not looking for this kind of content, no. Luckily, Stratego.com is still operational

It was a fun venture. I think as is, is fine. Perhaps add that at the end, with community census, up to two changes can be made.

This should be interesting to try for sure. I haven't played in awhile due to busy schedule, but hopefully can sneak in a game or two this week.
