When should a new player move a bomb?
I learned the basic defensive use of bombs, but I still hesitate to move one. What is a safe way to practise the trade-off?

Understanding a draw and what to learn from it
After a draw I can see the final position, but I am not always sure which earlier choice mattered most. How do you review a close game?

What makes a good first practice game?
I am introducing Stratego to a small group. Would you teach the full setup first, or start with a short exercise about movement and challenges?

There are so many possible ranks early in a game. How do you keep useful notes without trying to remember every single move?
