The Remaining Pieces in a Stratego Board Game

Hi! This is Ken. I’m here today to talk to you about Stratego. I got most of my pieces setup. I found another 2; I’m going to put him towards the front. I got some 4s; I’m going to put the 4s fairly close to the front, because they’re sort of like scouts. I’m setting up the game here. My higher ranking, my 7s and my 8s, I usually put them towards the back just to be on the safe side. Sometimes, after I’m done, I’m going to look over all the pieces and you have the option of switching them around. I got a 4 back here, and I would probably move that to the front. I like to have my higher numbers towards the back. I’m just putting all the pieces on the board. I’ve got some 5s back here. I probably would move them forward. Again, I like to have my pieces in the back and save my minors. 6s, these can stay toward the back, that’s fine. Meanwhile, the other opponent is doing the same thing. I got a 3 here, that’s another minor. I always like to keep a minor in the back , because like I said earlier, that defuses the bomb. Thank you.
