Had a friend spark an idea for hex based Stratego. On top of that, I decided we should have terrain modifiers and historical maps. I think there are lots of potential with making an old game a bit more fun while staying simple.
Download the “war_plan_red_orange” folder within the “Version 0.2.0” folder and unzip it.
Add this to C:/Users/(your username)/triplea/downloadedMaps
Rename the map.properties.txt file in war_plan_red_orange/map to map.properties. There are a few different ways to do this, a good one is to look at the folder in file explore, hit View->file name extensions, and then rename the file without the .txt suffix. Credit to Lost for telling me about this method.
I am on a quest to convert most of my “pushing plastic” games’ maps to a larger roll up format. I have been able to do that with all of my A&A games thanks to this site! Does anyone have a hi-res scan of the History of the World Map? Either the New Avalon hill version or the Z-Man Games reprint is fine.
If you really love Stratego try and get Ultimate Stratego. It is out of print but you can find it online for 25$. It has a 4 player version and a 2 player lightning version. I think it might be even better than the original Stratego.
