Gentlemen Let me introduce myself... I am in Canberra, Australia and have been gaming for 30 years (I have a head of grey hair to prove it). I have dabbled in...
Hi David: While I was at the helm of Shako II developments (now back to Arty), I worked on additional SYW/18th century amendments. I hope that you find them ...
Dave I saw your Crimean War Quick Reference Sheet and was wondering if there were nay other amnedments to Shako apert from that contaisn on the QRF? I am very...
Chris thanks for emailing me the SYW amendments. I am embarrased to say that I found the amendments almost immediately after I sent the email saying I...
... I'd suggest some changes to the Command & Control - nobody should count as French do in Shako. Further, use the penalties of the Spanish for all concerned...
Hi I am in the middle of my first Shako game for a number of years - a solo using Malburians. I really like the "shooting" cavalry optional rules. Works well,...
There is one more turn involved than you think. In the SHAKO rules, win or lose, cavalry must Recall. They may Reform only on the turn AFTER they have...
Thanks Terry, I thought it didn't feel right. In summary: 1. Cavalry must recall after melee. 2. Cavalry must "rally" by spending one turn stationery for one...
Hello, My name is Brian Bradford and I am new to the group. I was introduced to Shako and really like them. However, my period of interest is the early...
A few comments imbedded in CAPS. Terry in Spokane On Sun, 10 Jul 2005 10:26:08 -0000 "dow146jardine" <dow.123@...> ... RALLY FROM FALL BACK AND THEN...
Overall correct, but a Fallback substitutes for a Recall. In other words, a unit that loses a melee and performs a Fallback move does not have to subsequently...
Gentlemen firstly thanks for the feedback I think I now understand:: 1. Cavalry that win a melee must RECALL after melee. If the Cavalry choose to RECALL...
The way you have it in your example is the way it works in ADVANCED SHAKO. Chris indicated this is the way it will work in SHAKO II. The SHAKO rules as...
Terry this may explain, in part why I was confused. I think I will go with what I have - I think I understand it! thanks David W Canberra Oz ... restrictive...
What sort of time are we looking at for the release of the new version? I would like to pick up a set of rules but hate to have a new set come out the next...
I am really nervous about making promises; I have made bold statements in the past that have simply not come to pass. The difference now is that Arty is...
Thanks for the honest answer Chris. I feel that at this stage, it would be better, for me, to wait till the new set is published. I con't want to unlearn a...
I'm I the only one who is worried about this statement. Firstly, I don't think that Shako rules are bought anymore as the rules itself are spread over 2 books...
Hi Jan: I am not suggesting that simple solutions are always correct or are going to always be applied to problems in the original Shako. However, when ...
Hi! My question is about the function of Guerrillas in a Shako game. How it works? I think that it works like lights battalions, i.e. skirmish stand. Is that...
David, I disagree with your assumption regarding Spanish guerrillas operating as skirmishers. Skirmishers were, for the most part, trained light infantry,...
Hi ... The variable MR is a very interesting concept. ... Would you perhaps share a detailed deployment for one of these so we could see how the ideas work in...
Pete, Good question - I would have asked the same thing. I would be glad to talk to you offline regarding scenario work to see if I can help you in some...
I intend to have a number of scenario books published once I've been able to acquire the official Shako II rules and ensure the scenarios will work with the...
