Youtube Stratego Channels

An effective way to learn how to play Stratego is to watch other players play.  Thankfully, more and more players have been recording and uploading Stratego games that they've played at Stratego.com and Gravon.com.  Some Youtubers are even live streaming matches.  You can watch them play live and hear their thoughts as they struggle to win hard fought matches.  A few people are even creating how to videos with tips and strategies on how to play the game.  This is very important since it can be very hard for beginners to learn how to play winning Stratego by themselves.  Many get frustrated and stuck at a certain level and need help to improve their game play.  Check out some of the video channels below and watch their videos.  You'll probably start to immediately see improvements in your game!

Listed below are some of the popular Stratego youtube channels.  Please watch, subscribe, like and comment on their videos.

Marshal Blitzer Stratego Games from Gravon Archive Files

One of the best ways to learn how to get better at playing any game, including Stratego, is to watch how great players play.   I found all the won/loss/tie records of the archived game board setups at the Gravon Stratego website.  I’ll be listing the files of many of the top players(won/loss percentage record) so you can view and analyze how the top Stratego players performed.  Studying how the top players play can dramatically increase how well you play.  

This player was a typical Marshal Blitzer.  He used his Marshal and Colonel very early in the game to help attack the far right side of his opponent.  He also used the General to attack the middle of the board.    The player had a very aggressive style of play and won lots of games.  His record was:

Wins = 130 Losses = 21 Ties = 7 Games Played = 158
 Winning Percentage = 86.09%

Here's what the game board setup looked like:

As Player 2

As Player 1

Here's a listing of the Marshal Blitzer's games. I will highlight some of the interesting games for you to view as I find time to watch all of them.
