   Can someone tell me the name of this game??
  Back about 17 years ago I played a chess-like game. I THINK it was called the GNEREALS or something. It had a military theme.But anyways both sides had about 16 pieces which all had a different rank but the trick one the opponent could not see the rank and could only guess by who thier piece defeats.. (a 1 star gneral loses to a 2 star general.. a private loses to a sargeant) etc..When you went to capture a piece you would both put your piece on this little electronic thing on the side of the bored to see whose piece won..can anyone tell me the name of this game? anyone else play it??I can''t SEARCH GOOGLE since I don''t even know the name  
  If you say its an old game, try looking around http://www.the-underdogs.org/ - Ashley Oliver  Lead Programmer, Interplanitary Productions  ;  That''s brilliant and increadibly simple to create AI for... I might try making it...  ;  stratego  ;  Yea, sounds a hell of a lot like Stratego. I have the board game, but they might have very well made it into a computer game as well.  ;  Stratego  ;  nope its not strategothe look of it look more like a chessboard. The idea was very simple though but very cool. It involved alot of mind games more than chess since you had to guess what rank piece the other person is moving around. So you try to get inside the persons headIm not much into making board games but i remember the basic concept and if there really is nothing else like it then it sounds like a good game to make for the sake of practicing Directplay  ;  stealth chess? http://www.chessvariants.com/crossover.dir/stealthchess.html  ;  It was called the generals. It was a computerised version of stratego. It had great flashing red led''s for combat!"Most people think, great God will come from the sky, take away everything, and make everybody feel high" - Bob Marley  ;  ok. so i guess it really was just a version of stratego.i never played stratego beofore. i guess i will like it
