The Generals

Out of stock.
  • Description
    The Generals is VERY similar to Stratego, except for the following: - The ranks of the pieces are US military ranks from 5-Star General all the way down to Private. - The Agent captures all officers and is only vulnerable to a Private. - The Flag MAY move and if it reaches the opponents back row, that player WINS. - There are no mines. - The most important difference: There is a 'Computer Arbiter' that resolves the battles. Both players place their pieces in the designated slots, the computer plays a little tune and flashes an LED to show who won the battle. If you battle against a Flag, the computer plays Taps and wins.The identity of neither piece is ever revealed. All you know is that the opposing winning piece is better than yours or vice versa.The game apparently is based on a Filipino game where a neutral referee rather than a computer is used to decide the resultsPlay the Game of the Generals Online at SalpakanOnline.
