	Flag and Bomb?

	whoops, good call

	Chumley:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 09:42 GMT	2 points
	could you accept field marshal for 1? I'm pretty sure that was the name of the piece when I used to play.

	burningriver:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 10:28 GMT	3 points
	done and done

	finch:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 16:58 GMT	1 point
	I'm sure miner used to be called sapper (i.e. it is on mine which is ancient) so that should be allowed as well.

	when I played the ratings were reveresed, sort of, a scout was 2, a miner was 3 a sergeant was 4 and so on all the way to marshal at 10

	there are two versions that go both directions...but you should still be able to get them all, the positions haven't really changed

	I liked the quiz.It was short and I didnt do great, i only got 7 our of twelve but i still thought it was fun.

	ottsteve:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 02:45 GMT	-4 points
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure the higher values are for the higher-ranked people. For example, Scout was 1 and Marshal 9.

	"Some versions (primarily newer versions released since 2000) have higher ranks with higher numbers, while others (versions prior to 2000, as well as the Nostalgia version released in 2002) have higher ranks with lower numbers." -wikipedia

	Oh man.. GREAT idea for a quiz. This was one of my favorites as a kid.

	JasonJP:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 03:35 GMT	9 points
	Haven't played this in so long. Fond memories.

	wolv82:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 04:21 GMT	11 points
	Thought this was going to be really easy because I played this game all the time but then as soon as I started I realized I always called the pieces by their numbers, i.e "You killed my 2"

	Wow, grew up never calling them by their names. Tried "bomb diffuser" for number 8.

	TheBluesMan:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	3 points
	Samantha and Fox Mulder approve of this quiz!!!!!!

	VeGates:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 06:43 GMT	1 point
	The miner should also be called "grenadier" as that was used in some versions. @TheBluesMan, awesome reference!

	thegrimreaper:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 08:00 GMT	1 point
	@ mickfly718: haha i tried bomb seeker!

	jtrichey:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 08:02 GMT	2 points
	Stratego is a great game, but boy those military ranks can be hard to spell. I tried about 6 versions of sergeant and couldn't get it right, also flubbed colonel and was lucky to get lieutenant. And I consider myself a good speller.

	burningriver:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 08:18 GMT	1 point
	Until I made this game I would have bet money that "marshal" had two L's

	Tir_McDohl:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 09:58 GMT	0 points
	^ Marshall Islands has two, I think otherwise one L is more common now.

	Also Marshall University

	It'd been ages upon ages since I've played this. I remembered bomb, flag, spy and marshal and just used army ranks for the rest. I could not remember miner and scout.

	pbrown:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT	2 points
	Classic. I love this game

	Rhys:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 13:17 GMT	1 point
	arghh. When I saw this quiz I was hoping I'll have to do is name, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, flag and bomb.

	Kairo:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:36 GMT	0 points
	Why aren't they labeled from 10 to 2, with S and then no labels?

	WienerJa:	Nov 14th, 2009 at 22:26 GMT	2 points
	Kairo, that's why you read comment threads before posting.

	THEJMAN:	Nov 16th, 2009 at 05:18 GMT	-1 points
	The rankings are backwards; the Marshall (with two 'l's) is 10 (being the highest).

	Junuxx:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 16:18 GMT	1 point
	the hardest part was spelling lieutenant

	Navarro2814:	Feb 1st, 2010 at 04:56 GMT	1 point
	Spent one minute trying to spell lieutenant
