Now recognized as the #1 Stratego site on the Internet!

 

A MESSAGE FROM ED COLLINS

Hi Gang,

I've created a monster!

The number of hits this site receives each and every day, from all over the world, is truly hard to believe.  Type in "Stratego" in Google's search engine and this site is currently #2!   (For a long time it was #1, but recently Wikipedia's entry surpassed it!)

I still read each and every e-mail I receive, but please don't be offended if I don't have time to respond to yours.  I simply don't have the time to respond to all of them! 

If you'd like to help with the monthly cost of keeping this site up, and helping to pay for the extra bandwidth I've purchased, feel free to make a small contribution below.  All contributers will be listed here and I thank you all in advance.  My PayPal account is edwardcollins@yahoo.com.

A BIG THANK YOU to both of the above contributors.

 


A special thanks to...

...Dave Conn of East Tawas, Michigan. Dave was a neighborhood chum who lived around the corner from me when I was growing up in East Tawas, about thirty five years ago. Dave was a couple of years older than I, and it was he who taught me how to play Stratego. I still have fond memories of playing the game with him in a small shed in his backyard, using his wood pieces!

...everyone who has written to me concerning this site. I owe a debt of gratitude to all of you for your comments, tips, photographs, rule variations, piece setups, praise, etc. You have helped to make this the #1 Stratego site on the Internet!

As many of you are probably aware, I took a long break from maintaining and updating this site. Sorry. Before today, I did not update this site at all for a period of slightly more than six months. I simply did not have the inclination to do so. I was burned out and needed a break.

I do wish to thank all of you for all of the warm comments, tips, piece setups, rule variations, etc., you sent me during the past year. I wish I could answer and post all of these. Unfortunately, I receive so many e-mails regarding this site, I simply do not have the time to do so.

I hope I can maintain the site on a more timely basis in 2003.

Note: I've added two new sections:

1) I seem to get asked many of the same questions over and over,
so I put together a FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) section.

2) I'm offering a few Stratego sets for sale, so I created an
ITEMS FOR SALE section.

The Message Board contains new sections (Section 5 and Section 6) with many of the more interesting questions and comments I've received throughout the year.

Enjoy.

I succeeded. Last year I promised myself I would try to update and maintain this site in a more timely manner and I was able to do so. Hopefully I can do the same again this year.

I want to again thank everyone for your comments and praise regarding this site. I wish I had time to answer every e-mail I receive, but I continue to receive so many I simply do not have the time to reply to each one. I do, however, read each one, and I would like to thank everyone in advance for writing.

I hope everyone has a great 2004.

Here it is... 2005 already.  Another year has come and gone.

I want to again thank EVERYONE who has written over the past year.  Although I don't have time to respond to everybody, I do read, and appreciate every e-mail I receive.  As you can see, I've started another Message Board section - we're up to #7 now!

Happy playing, everyone!

2006 now...

Again, thanks for all of the wonderful e-mails you've sent me throughout the past year.  Ed's Stratego Site is still #1.

And now it's 2007...

The number of daily e-mails I'm receiving continues to amaze me.  I wish I had time to respond to everyone.

And here it is, 2008.  Another whole year gone by.  The site's been up for more than seven years!

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful e-mails from all over the world.

Well, after more than 11 years of downtime, this site is back up.

Back in January of 2011, I was asked by JUMBO to not link to some of the sites where you could play Stratego online.  It seems that JUMBO was in the process of creating their own online play site where you could play Stratego... and they didn't want any competition.

Rather than comply and remove those links, I decided to take the entire site down completely.  If I couldn't link to all Stratego sites, I'd rather not have the site up at all.

Well, apparently their online site didn't work out.  It is no longer valid.  (And probably hasn't been valid for years.)  So until I hear differently, until they put together another online playing site (assuming they have plans to do so), I assume promoting their game, which is what this website does, should be fine with them.

After 11 years, I suspect many of my links to other pages and sites are no longer valid.  I'll be removing them as I find them, most likely over the next week or two.  Thanks.
