	whoops, good call

	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 06:28 GMT	3 points
	done and done

	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 10th, 2009 at 22:45 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.

	Haven't played this in so long. Fond memories.

	wolv82:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 00:21 GMT	12 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"

	Hanz:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 02:10 GMT	-2 points
	"Colors" should also be accepted for "flag"

	mickfly718:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 02:29 GMT	2 points
	Wow, grew up never calling them by their names. Tried "bomb diffuser" for number 8.

	TheBluesMan:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 02:40 GMT	2 points
	Samantha and Fox Mulder approve of this quiz!!!!!!

	VeGates:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 02:43 GMT	2 points
	The miner should also be called "grenadier" as that was used in some versions. @TheBluesMan, awesome reference!

	thegrimreaper:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 04:00 GMT	1 point
	@ mickfly718: haha i tried bomb seeker!

	jtrichey:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 04:02 GMT	3 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.

	Until I made this game I would have bet money that "marshal" had two L's

	Tir_McDohl:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 05:58 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 11th, 2009 at 20:55 GMT	1 point
	Classic. I love this game

	Rhys:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 09:17 GMT	0 points
	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 15:36 GMT	-1 points
	Why aren't they labeled from 10 to 2, with S and then no labels?

	Kairo, that's why you read comment threads before posting.

	the hardest part was spelling lieutenant

	Navarro2814:	Feb 1st, 2010 at 00:56 GMT	3 points
	Spent one minute trying to spell lieutenant

	Rothes:	Apr 12th, 2010 at 16:41 GMT	-3 points
	@ navarro and junuxx Thats why i always have google on another tab. Its a quiz not a spelling bee.

	NY_MOB:	Nov 28th, 2010 at 10:04 GMT	2 points
	I also couldn't spell sergeant or lieutenant. And using google on another tab provides one with more than just the correct spellings. If you're going to look stuff up... why take the quiz?

	pat5556:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 19:43 GMT	3 points
	GAH...For the life of me, I can never spell Sergeant. Probably because most people say "Sargent" when talking...

	Sanky:	Jan 3rd, 2012 at 21:17 GMT	1 point
	I was in Barnes and Noble the other day and there was a 50th Anniversary Edition, and it had 4 cannon pieces that could be interchanged with the rest.

	Lieutenant is sure hard to spell! 11/12
