Bombs can only be defused by The Miner (Rank 3 classic/8 newer) any other piece that attacks a bomb is captured. Bombs cannot move wherever you place them during setup is where they remain for the entire game. This can have strategic benefit, but moving a Scout more than one space always reveals its rank to the other player. The Scout (rank 9 classic/2 newer): can move any distance, like a rook in chess.If the Marshall attacks the Spy, or the Spy is involved in combat with any other rank, the Spy is captured. The Spy (rank S in the classic game, rank 1 in newer versions): If the Spy attacks the Marshall (rank 1 classic/10 newer), the Marshall is captured.There are a couple of special pieces in this game: If pieces are of equal power, both are captured. The less powerful piece is captured, and is removed from play. If the space into which you are moving is occupied by an enemy piece, players reveal and compare the ranks of those pieces. Game play is simple each player moves a single piece one space orthogonally (excepting a few special pieces described below). More powerful pieces always capture the less powerful ones (with a few exceptions see below). Pieces are ranked in power (older versions, and the 'Nostalgia Series' version, rank the highest piece at 1 and the lowest at 9, whereas newer versions reverse the order). Players arrange their pieces in secret, so that your opponent doesn't know what rank occupies each space. The pieces are uniform in construction, so that when viewed from behind, you cannot know which piece it is. In Stratego, two players arrange their pieces in the first four rows of a 10×10 grid (there are two 2×2 sections in the middle, represented by small lakes, that cannot be entered by either player). The 'Nostalgia Series' version, which I have, I'd rank as Pretty.
