Hi everybody We in our club (in France) have bothered just like some of you about representing batallion guns on the battlefield, in terms of model and in...

I like this approach to battalion guns since it seems a good balance between
their presence and yet limited effect. I immediately thought about using
the...
The fact is that battalion guns were mainly used to improve infantry firepower, and were not meant to act as independent artillery elements. This is what...
Assuming the larger Austrian battalions covered additional frontage when deployed in line, I think the current situation in which they fire over a 33% wider...
Help Some time ago someone kindly sent me a set of points values for Shako, which I have very carefully managed to loose or delete. Could I have another set...
Terry and others, Don't get hung up on these large battalions. It is a blind alley. In most armies, the paper strength of an infantry battalion was about...
In a message dated 9/8/04 3:20:15 PM !!!First Boot!!!, shako@yahoogroups.com ... Which leads me to a question? Did bat. guns fire only canister or did they ...
Hi, It seems that in most armies, they were intended to fire at short range only, breaking an ennemy unit's cohesion before infantrymen launch the charge. They...
hi, just uploaded some photo's of our 15mm shako game at the Crusade wargames show in Belgium some weeks back. As can be seen, we play shako with 4 stands...
If you are in the area....come play 9/26 Sunday "Battle of Lutzen 1813" 25mm Napoleonics SHAKO 2 6x12 table 2000 figures-12 people 12pm-5:30 Dave Waxtels house...
Hello, I am toying with the idea of creating a competition day where pairs of players play various 60 minute skirmishes. The games would have to be on 4ft by...
Hello guys, I've read the Marching to Glory (campaigning with shako) file which contains very interresting things but states that it contains 6 scenarii...
Hi Antoine: MTG was never finished. Initially the intention was to create Advanced
Shako (as opposed to Shako II which is now in the works). AS would have...
Hi All: The draft of Shako II is very close to completion. Minor writing issues are
always found and I am sure that once the rules are released next year many...
Hi Chris, Overall impact on the battlefield was certainly tactical not strategic. I am in favor of either leaving as is (1 stand/3 skills as wide as 3 bases in...
I've got several things to point out, but that's my opinion, nothing else. I think the existing rule is good. I once read an article that acceptable casualties...
Chris, we use skirmishers as written in the rules. Just because we had based otherwise, our skirmishers are on the same amount of bases as the line infantry...
In our game last night the following situation occurred. A town occupied by spanish unit (line SR) was attacked by french infantry unit. Spanish fired on...
In our game a french unit advanced and contacted a skirmisher unit. According to rule 8.2.1 the skirmishers are driven back 6" (in 15mm). Also, according to...
situation: french cavalry unit charges a british cavalry unit and wins the melee so can breakthrough. In reach is a formed british unit in line. We can nowhere...
Yes, that is correct. Only a Stagger inflicted by the volley of the unit being charged can stop an infantry charge. Even that will not stop a cavalry charge....
Once the battle is joined, there is precious little use for the skirmisher stands we have now - let alone three times as many. I like the rule we have now. I...
Not only CAN the British battalion attempt to form hasty square, it MUST do so unless it has flank supports. It is strange that section 11.3 never uses the...

Hi Chris, I think 3 times the skirmishers would detract from the game, I agree with Terry on that one. Regarding skirmisher melee, why not? I like this idea....
