Editorial Policy

Scope

Initial content covers Classic Original Stratego only. Variant editions such as Duel or Infiltrator are not mixed into Original articles.

Rules vs recommendations

• Official rules: movement, combat, piece counts, and winning conditions drawn from Classic Original instructions.
• Strategic recommendations: setup patterns, probing habits, and risk tradeoffs labeled as editorial advice.
• Opinions: comparative judgments (for example, which formation fits a style) that are not presented as mandatory rules.

Accuracy

We do not invent rules, tournaments, rankings, or player statistics. When editions disagree, Original pages state the Classic Original rule and note that other editions may differ.
