Stratego Spritesheet Spec

File: public/assets/images/stratego-pieces.png Cell size: 140 × 140 px Layout: 6 columns × 2 rows, row-major (frame = row × 6 + col) Total frames: 12 Transparency: required — each frame is a single transparent-background character/emblem that the engine overlays on a coloured piece body it draws with Phaser Graphics.

How it's used

For every face-up piece the engine draws, in this order:

1. A rounded "medallion" body in the owner's colour (red = you, blue = AI) — code.
2. This spritesheet frame, scaled to ~78% of the tile, centred on the body.
3. The rank number in the upper-left corner (1–10, or B/F) — code.

So the art only needs to supply the character/emblem for each unit type. Keep the subject roughly centred with a little headroom (the corner number sits over the top-left). Design the art to read on both a red and a blue body — favour light/ neutral fills with dark outlines rather than red or blue dominant colours.

Face-down enemy pieces never use this sheet (the engine draws a generic back), so no "card back" frame is needed here.

Frame table

Frame	Unit	Rank	Notes
0	Flag	—	Objective; immovable. Corner label F.
1	Spy	1	Defeats the Marshal when it attacks.
2	Scout	2	Moves any distance in a line.
3	Miner	3	Defuses Bombs. A pick/shovel reads well.
4	Sergeant	4
5	Lieutenant	5
6	Captain	6
7	Major	7
8	Colonel	8
9	General	9
10	Marshal	10	Highest rank.
11	Bomb	—	Immovable; destroys any attacker but a Miner. Corner label B.

Notes

• Until this PNG exists the game is fully playable: the engine falls back to a code-drawn glyph (a flag, a bomb, or the big rank number with the unit name).
• A matching stratego-pieces.psd source is expected alongside the PNG, as with the other games' art.
• The game-menu icon for Stratego is iconFrame: 46 in game-icons.png (authored separately, like every other game's icon).
