Geocache Description:


Back when I was growing up we didn't have the distractions that are available today.  When it was rainy in the summer or we had a snow day, we would entertain ourselves with board games.  Out of many, my favorite was STRATEGO.  It was similar to Chess and Capture the Flag.  The game pieces had a head shot of military personnel, such as Scout, Miner, Sergeant or Marshall and each piece had a corresponding number on it.  Miners were number 8 and Marshall was number 1.  Additionally, a Marshall could take any other numbered piece, Captains could take Lieutenants and lower.  There were also pieces marked with a Flag, Bombs, that took out anyone but a Miners, Spies that could capture the Flag, The ultimate goal was to protect your Flag from capture and capture the opposing player's Flag.  This set of caches will emulate that game.

Audie Leon Murphy was an American soldier, actor and songwriter. He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He received every military combat award for valor available from the United States Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism.
