Chris Stephen Back in the good ol' days, young whipper snappers like yourself played board games to entertain themselves. We didn't have these infernal computers that have taken over the entertainment industry and are poisoning the minds of our youth. But, just this once I will relent in my unending criticism of everything created after 1970 because Stratego , the old school board game has been brought to the PC by Hasbro Interactive .
Lets check it out to see how it stacks up to the real deal.
The game is essentially identical, but there are important differences. Most importantly, and disconcertingly, in the board game I used to play the strongest piece was the General which was labeled 1. In the computer version the best piece is the Marshall, labeled 10. For traditionalists out there this is a major oddity, but you soon get over the fact that there is no number 1 piece. If you have never played Stratego before, lets go over the basics.
