Description
In this version of the classic board game you lead your troops into battle against the computer opponent in a race to capture your enemy's flag before he gets yours. Initially you can't see how the enemy has positioned his troops and he can't see yours which gives ample opportunity for bluffing and deception from both sides.

"It's like chess spliced with Minesweeper and Guess Who. Bearing in mind how important subterfuge and bluffing are in the original game, the silicon opponents provided are remarkably sharp." - EuroGamer.com

Great game needs to have a win and lost total added and maybe little more animation

Great game But extremely slow!!!
I love this game but at times it is extremely slow. It takes computer 4-5 seconds to move. In a game that takes possibly hundreds of moves it's hard to concentrate when it moves slow and choppy. I finally figured out that the game is slow before the next iOS update. Once the phone is updated the game works perfectly for a few weeks then it starts to slow down and eventually you can’t play it and have to wait for the next iOS update. But otherwise an awesome game!
Defraum23,
Fantastic game
It is just like the classic board game. Challenging AI, customizable settings, and low price. I have sunk a lot of hours into this gem of an app. 5/5

Excellent AI
Great game with sophisticated AI. If you like Stratego and don't need multiplayer functionality, you'll love this. Don't believe the haters.
Jfabe,
Great game
It is a blast to play. Love it.
But,
Sometimes it slows down impossibly slow.
Win loss total would be great.

GrammarJunky,
Takes me back to my childhood!
Just like my favorite childhood (and young-adult) board game!

Excellent Strategy Game
You are probably looking at this app because you want a game of strategy similar to Stratego. There exist dozens of variations of the same concept all over the world and over the Internet. The General by Sean O'Connor is one of the best I've ever encountered in the form of a computer game. I've noticed it is very polished and works without slowdown or glitches. This app has so many useful options that contribute to enjoyable play.
You get 6 different AI engines from what it seems. Maybe it's just one engine but has 6 difficulties. You get a number of themes for the pieces. You also get a very good selection of predetermined arrangements to play as. You can also horizontally reverse each.
Overall I've found no issues with this app whatsoever. It should provide lots of enjoyment to any fan of turn based strategy games and board games.

Graet game, Real Board need improvment
This game is like the real board and very good and can spend a lot of time to play its a lot fun, BUT need this 3 improvements, 1. Save my own settings, 2. UNDO feature, 3. more the one Laval,
it dose not have the option the save YOUR OWN setting which I would like to see improvement, (it comes with like 10 or more pre-settings that you can change and it will remember it so I have a way it should remember my setting,) also its very important to have a UNDO button, its not I would like to cheat, sometimes you move a tiny square by mistake or the ipod or your finger moved the other square you have in mind.
and it would be nice to have 3-5 levels of difficulty so in Level one the CPU will act like a dummy and Level 3 or 5 the CPU should be very very strong.

@holanz,
Fun... Need a hard difficulty
This is fun and perfect size on the iPad. Lots of people complaining about the graphics but you can change the look of the pieces by clicking on the red castlelike icon.
I would like a scoreboard. Sometimes i wish there was an undo button but its stratego, you cant have an undo because the piece is revealed.
I would like a harder difficulty, though the computers have great strategies.

Bad update, good game
Regarding most-recent update: why is the game so slow now? The new animations are not an improvement. Everything worked much more smoothly in the prior versions.
Regarding the game generally, here is my initial review: I had this game on my old Windows Mobile phone years ago and loved it -- by far the game I played the most on that phone. I was hoping someone would port a Stratego clone to the iPhone (and now the iPad) and, sure enough, here it is. Woo-hoo!!!
This game is perfect for people who love strategy turn-based war games. It can be played in about 5 minutes, which is ideal for a phone game. The goal is to capture the enemy's flag before it captures yours. The trick is that you can't see what any of the enemy's pieces are: the piece you're about to engage could be the general (#1) or a lowly scout (#9). Lower numbers defeat higher numbers, so surprise is a key element in the game. The AI here is pretty good: challenging, but not enough to frustrate you to the point where you don't want to play anymore. It's fun to come up with different placement strategies (the game comes with about 20-30 different pre-set placements to choose from, but it's more fun to devise them on your own).
Thanks for a great game and keep up the good work!
