Hello everyone. I joined this list to find out more about the rules. They where recomended to me by a number of good fellows on "the Miniatures Page" So I...
If you can get a cheap copy, do so. Shako II will have lots of new stuff
and more efficient mechanics in parts, but the core will remain the same. If you...
You have it from the source here, as Chris is THE guru on what is happening in Shako development. You should also be aware that in the files section of this...
Just to clarify something. For many years I have been trying to provide a
semi-official voice for Shako due to my initial involvement in the rules and
my...
My problem is that I have the official translation in italian of Shakò, and in this translation I don't have find the play sheet for the Large Battle Shako. ...
Heavy Battery: Canister = 8" (5-12), Effecitve = 16" (8-12) and long = 24" (9-12) Foot Battery: same ranges, but hit numbers are 6-12. 9-12 & 10-12 Horse...
Hello: We're hoping someone can help resolve a (sometimes heated) debate about arrival of flank marches. The rules require announcement at the beginning of the...
We have been playing scenarios for so long that this rule is ancient history
for me. Anyway, from memory, the allowable reaction would depend on the
distance...
I think a French flank march notification allows the enemy player to make three responses only. 1. He can invoke rule 7.3.1 "Flank and Rear Threats": IF he has...
... I favor this. "What's that cloud of dust over there? Why are all the small animals running this way?" ... Informational purposes only? What would be the...
Chris & Terry: Many thanks for the quick responses (our next game is tomorrow). In the last situation we had, the French announced a deep flank march on the...
Well, it would be nice if the enemy (and the French) knew which turn a Flank March would actually arrive on the table. Then, the enemy could react with...
terry: "I see no alternative but to allow the enemy multiple turns to get ready to counter the Flank March. FEAR NOT! - I do have a solution......." Terry, ...
Terry's suggestion is good and will do for now. Shako II is going to be
much more restrictive on what players can do prior to actual fighting and
this will...
I still don't see where my suggestion would lessen any surprise. The French commander is rolling for arrival on the turn when he would normally have to...

Situation was this: I charged two French light cavalry units with two equivalent Turkish cavalry units. Both of my Cavalry units were beaten by 1. They both ...
Dear Tim, The infantry rallies immediately and can therefore plunge into action next turn. Cavalry needs a full move to rally and if contacted by enemy cavalry...
Tim, one other point in case I have misunderstood your post. If on a second reading the situation is that a blown light cav unit charges a formed Guard...
if the cavalry "rally-in-place" or rally back within reach of enemy cavalry, and then are subsequently charged, do they fight blown? --Without referring to the...
Mostly a semantic issue, but - a Rally is a recovery from Stagger of Fall Back. The two actions involved here are Recall and Reform. The Recall can be done...
Terry's explication is excellent. For now go with it. Shako II is
addressing all of these issues for clarity, but Arty has not yet commented
on these issues...
Some recent threads on TMP prompt me to ask what the plans are for the layout and design of the new Shako book? Will it still be B&W with line drawings, or...
It looks like it will be a full colour production, similar to Tactica and
F&F which started the whole trend to this kind of thing back in the very
early 1990s....
Hopefully the colours and glossy production will not costs more times and will not interfere with the quality of the rules themselves ... Tactica and ... the...
Well, of course the book will cost more when colour is added, but this is
well worth the inspiration that I hope that the colour provides. Wargaming

Amen, brother Chris! Terry in Spokane ... is well worth the inspiration that I hope that the colour provides. Wargaming is supposed to be an aesthetic hobby;...
