Community Setup #2 - 01AAAAF - 02-15-2021 10:34 PM

Hi all, Community Setup #2 is now starting. Thanks again to KnightofPepsi for recording a match with Community Setup #1 and allowing us to continue with a new setup. If you missed that match, be sure to check out the other Community Setup thread and KnightofPepsi’s YouTube channel!

Just a reminder of how this works:

We as a community will each take turns picking individual pieces in the setup. I will continue to update the progress of the setup with pictures as it develops. Once all of the pieces are filled in, hopefully we will have a volunteer to play a match with commentary and post it on YouTube.

As for the rules regarding piece selection, there are none. I made a poll for potential rules and whatnot, but we didn’t really get enough participation in the poll thread to do anything one way or the other. I guess we will see how it works without any rules, and then see if changes need to be made in the future. All I would ask is that if you wish to make picks that would potentially make the setup unplayable, it would be nice if you’d volunteer yourself to record a match with the setup. I think this may be the best solution for everyone, since we can all still have fun making a crazy setup, and that way I don’t end up wasting a lot of my time unnecessarily if we don’t get any volunteers.

I will go ahead and let somebody else pick the first piece this time, so we are starting with a completely empty setup:

[Image: 230-D343-E-53-A3-4055-8-A55-765373-C9821-E.png]

The first person to comment will get to choose the first piece. When making your selection, please list the name of the piece you are choosing, then the square in which you’d like to place that piece.

If there aren’t any new picks after 24hrs, then you can make a second consecutive pick. I think this will be the only rule that is mandatory for this, because otherwise 1 person could theoretically pick literally the entire setup and the thread would be pointless in that case. I think waiting 24hours seems ok if there aren’t any new picks, since that way we can still finish the setup somewhat quickly if interest dies down for whatever reason. This also allows people who may not log in to the forum as often to have a chance to pick a piece before the setup is finished.

If you have any feedback on how to improve these threads, please also feel free to comment that as well! Thanks!

When I have a bit more free time, I will also post the remaining pieces we still need, since we are starting to get near the end of this setup.

KnightofPepsi also posted another video with the first setup earlier today, so check that out as well if you haven’t already!

RE: Community Setup #2 - 01AAAAF - 02-27-2021 11:37 PM

Sorry for the delays, it’s been a busy week. We still need:

3 Lieutenants
4 Sergeants
2 Miners
3 Scouts

RE: Community Setup #2 - Nortrom - 02-28-2021 02:30 AM

J3 lieutenant

RE: Community Setup #2 - 01AAAAF - 02-28-2021 06:55 PM

I’ll put a Scout on I3. Current setup:

RE: Community Setup #2 - Morx - 02-28-2021 11:33 PM

A2 Sergeant

RE: Community Setup #2 - Murazor - 03-01-2021 06:13 PM

C3 Lieutenant

RE: Community Setup #2 - 01AAAAF - 03-01-2021 11:33 PM

Since there is already a piece on C3, I’ll assume you meant C2 and put your Lieutenant there.

I will then put a Scout on A1. Current setup:

[Image: BA8-DDE72-014-D-46-C1-BED1-5-C91-DC38-F5-FD.png]

We still need:
1 Lieutenant
3 Sergeants
2 Miners
1 Scout

Also, it seems Stratego.com has finally gone down permanently, so I’m not sure when we will be able to have a volunteer to play with this setup and post it on YouTube. I suppose the matches could be played on an unofficial alternative, but posting links to them here would apparently be against the rules.

RE: Community Setup #2 - KnightofPepsi - 03-02-2021 08:25 PM

I'm happy to give this setup a try on another platform and then post the result (as I did for the first community setup) if I'm allowed to, but if not then I will respect the rules.

RE: Community Setup #2 - Morx - 03-04-2021 08:32 PM

There is no update in the policy regarding this.

As mentioned in another thread, we are still discussing future proof discussions.

Hmm, that’s odd... Is anyone else having the same problem?

Images showing again properly, not sure if you changed anything or that a miracle fix took place Smile

RE: Community Setup #2 - 01AAAAF - 03-07-2021 07:57 PM

No, I didn’t change anything. Not sure what could have been the problem. Regardless, I will put a Sergeant on B1. Current setup:

Also, let me know if this image doesn’t work.

Image works fine, yes.

RE: Community Setup #2 - 01AAAAF - 03-09-2021 01:43 AM

Ok, so I’ll put a Lieutenant on I1. The last remaining piece is a Sergeant, so I’ll go ahead and fill that in as well. Final setup:

[Image: DEBDB95-F-9-EC9-4-DD0-9844-841-FA5898141.png]

I am not really sure what the most optimal way to play this setup is. It’s probably best to attack down the left side with the General first and make space for the Spy to get to the middle if necessary. That will also create space for the front row pieces in the middle to escape.

I think you have to use bluff protection early for the Colonel and Major in the middle and just kinda hope that the opponent doesn’t call the bluff... It’s going to be very hard to protect both of them, but there isn’t much that can be done about it. At least with them being next to each other, that should theoretically allow them to use the 2-square to keep at least 1 of those pieces from getting killed by the same piece lol...

I will be keeping an eye on KnightofPepsi’s YouTube channel in the event that he decides to post matches with this setup as well. I’m pretty sure posting links to matches on alternative sites is still against the rules, so I guess those of you who are interested in seeing future matches should just keep an eye on his channel.
