Option to "flip" starting setup
#1

Anyone that has played a Madden football game knows what I'm talking about. You have your playbook (in Stratego, that would be your setup) and there's also the option to "flip" the playcalls. So, a run to the right would "flip" to a run to the left, the mirror image of the original play.
Hopefully, this makes sense and others will be able to see the benefit.

I do hope that you can save more set-ups in the near future. Ten set-ups or more would be ideal, saves a lot of time.

A flip is a good idea, Bill. Thanks.
Still, I think I like the idea of more setups as trickz says even more, though. Ten would indeed be a nice number. But I don't know if I'd want an endless supply. Many would just catch dust and I would forget their purpose, possibly.
Lady Kathryn, that notion of a flip you mention would only work in a very special case, and would definitely not work if your original setup feature a flag in the corner, for example....unless you enjoyed the flag on the open front line!

Lady Kathryn came up with the following idea in a p.m. to me previously. I suggested calling it "Full-Half Flipping". The idea was to flip the pieces horizontally by halves. See below.
She uses the European numbering system. I quote her explanation below with her permission,
"That is, using a row of pieces, say 4 4 5 3 2 2 7 6 3 2, flip them so the row would be
"2 7 6 3 2 4 4 5 3 2. I have noticed that opponents attack on the side of their 'handedness' (right or left). So if the set-up "could be "flipped by halves, and you play the same player a second time, it would ce [sic] convenient to switch sides to "compensate."
I felt it was a worthy notion, and fairly simple, when talking about "flipping" pieces for setups.

This would be a nice feature to have, since many players do like to swap setup from time to time. Some players may one game have a corner flag and a bomb blockade on the left and the next game would rather have it on the right. This feature would save setup times if we can add this to the game.
