Welcome to the British
Stratego Association!
"The British Stratego Association
exists to promote the game of Stratego within Britain and around the
world."
The
British Stratego Association was formed in July 2005 by 3 of Britain's
top Stratego players.
Since
the B.S.A. was created, the U.K. has seen a much higher profile for
U.K. Stratego. This has resulted in many more British players taking up
the game. Our success has not only been with the increase in players
(which is one of our primary aims) but also with the increased strength
of ALL our players. This increase in standards resulted in 3 major
tournament success's for 3 different British players within the first
18 months.
The
strength of some of our "new" players is something which is always good
to see. One example is our top junior player, who only started playing
the game in September 2005. By November 2006 he was crowned "Junior
European U.L. Champion".
Major
Tournament wins from 2005 to 2011 include:
Two
British players become Olympic Champions in Stratego Classic. (Anthony
Melbourne in 2005 & Richard Ratcliffe in 2008)
A British
player becomes Junior European Champion. (Jonathan Edwards -
Ultimate Lightning Stratego in 2006)
Two
British players becomes Junior World Champions. (Ashleigh Ratcliffe -
Stratego Barrage 2008 & Jay Smith -Stratego Duel 2009)
A British
player becomes the triple Ultimate Lightning Stratego World Champion.
(Richard Ratcliffe in 2006,2007 & 2011)
A British
player becomes the double Stratego Barrage Stratego World Champion.
(Richard Ratcliife in 2008 & 2011)
A
British player becomes the double Stratego Duel World
Champion. (Richard Ratcliffe in 2009 & 2011)
A
British player becomes the Stratego Classic Womens World Champion.
(Kathryn Whitehorn in 2010)
A

11 Dec 2014: Last Sunday (07/12/14) Norman Koks sadly passed away.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Norman's family and friends at this time.
Norman was well respected and a much loved character in the Stratego world.
He had played nearly 500 tournament games in many different countries and including many World Championships.
The
news of Norman passing at only 46 years of age came as a big shock
to everyone. Norman was one of the nicest guys you could ever
meet and his enthuiasm for the game was legendary.
He was a good friend, a great Stratego warrior and a true gentleman. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.
Rest in peace good buddy.
