Originally posted by LordOfTheChessboardI always liked an elaborate flag defense. The flag in one corner. Two bombs next to it. Three 7s next to them. And finally, four more bombs next to them. Any enemy 8 which pierces the outer cordon of bombs will be killed by the defending 7. Then they'll have to get another 8 in there to breach the inner cordon of bombs.
I like stratego, because I have a very good visual memory and im good at strategy.
I always use a strategy of centralising the most important pieces and then create a walkway along the 3rd rank. So that the important pieces can quickly defend/attack where needed.
ANCIENT GAMES
Go [haven't played in years, never really got good]
Backgammon [does this count as strategy?]
CARD GAMES - more tactical play than strategic play IMHO
Cribbage
Hearts
Spades
Pitch
Casino
BOARD GAMES
Diplomacy
Risk
Flattop
Just about any wargame really
Monopoly
CPU GAMES
Capitalism 2 and any other Business Sims
Again, just about any wargame [turn-based, not a real RTS fan]
Railroad Tycoon
Transport Tycoon
Just about any strategy game by Sid Meiers
