Editing Stratego (section)

===Variant Versions===
These have substantially different configurations and rules.

'''Ultimate Stratego''': No longer in production, this version can still be found at some online stores and specialty gaming stores. This version is a variant of traditional ''Stratego'' and can accommodate up to 4 players simultaneously. The ''Ultimate Stratego'' board game contained four different Stratego versions: "Ultimate Lightning", "Alliance Campaign", "Alliance Lightning" and "Ultimate Campaign".

'''Science Fiction Version''': [[Jumbo B.V.]] / Spin Master version of ''Stratego'', common in North American department stores. The game has a futuristic science fiction theme. Played on a smaller 8×10 board, with 30 pieces per player. Features unique ''Spotter'' playing pieces.

'''Stratego Waterloo''': For the [[wikt:bicentenary|bicentenary]] of the Battle of Waterloo in June 2015, the Dutch publishing group Jumbo published ''Stratego Waterloo''. Instead of using ranks, the different historical units that had actually fought at the battle were added as ''Pawns'' (Old Guard, 95th Rifles...) – each with their own strengths and weaknesses.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jumbo.eu/media/products/assets/manuals/3224b426-89ba-5877-8c15-cb244e7f45cc.pdf |title=Stratego Waterloo: Rules of the game |date=2015 |publisher=Jumbo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150914113650/http://www.jumbo.eu/media/products/assets/manuals/3224b426-89ba-5877-8c15-cb244e7f45cc.pdf |archive-date=September 14, 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The ''Pawns'' are divided into light infantry, line infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, artillery, commanders and commanders-in-chief ([[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington|Wellington]] and [[Napoleon]]). Instead of capturing the ''Flag'', the players must get two of their pawns on the lines of communication of their opponent.
