Keeping these two officers apart helps to distribute my resources. If I kept both of these two officers together, then one side of the board would be quite weak and undefended. I usually keep my Marshal on one side of the board, and my General on the other. This will reduce the number of pieces you have to pay attention to, so you don't go and blow up your invincible piece with a bomb. (For example, with a invincible Marshall, attack your opponent's Colonel with your Colonel to remove both of them). If you have an invincible piece, trade off your lesser valued pieces with equal valued opponent's pieces. Trade off when you have the highest rank.For this reason, I usually deploy most of my Miners in my back two ranks. It's usually a good idea to save your Miners for the late stages of the game, after most of your opponent's Bombs have been identified. If your opponent correctly guesses the location of your Spy, or if your Spy becomes a casualty of war, your opponent's Marshal becomes much more powerful. Keep the identity of your Spy a secret for as long as you can. Also, your opponent's higher ranking piece can easily blow through your formation if they are all the same value. You are generally not gaining much by keeping the same ranked piece adjacent to another, since you can only attack by one piece. It is generally a good idea to not setup same ranked pieces adjacent to each other. The second method is anywhere else in the back row and requires three Bombs. The first one is in the back row, up against one of the edges of the board. He must now capture all of your remaining men in order to win.īelow are the two most common methods of surrounding the Flag with Bombs. If your Flag is surrounded by Bombs, without Miners, your opponent simply will not be able to capture your Flag. If you do so, and if during the game you are able to capture all of your opponent's Miners, you reduce the number of ways your opponent can win the game in half. It is usually a good idea to completely surround your Flag with Bombs. Once my opponent figures out my bomb formation for certain setups, he has to guess between three different locations for my flag. I often use similar setups as far as bomb locations, but alternate where my flag is located. When you play each game against the same opponent, then alternate your flag location as well as bomb setups, to insure you opponent can't predict where your flag is located.
