Hi I have been collecting and painting up the Corps of Count Wallmoden. Many of these were new volunteers in the German tradition of the 'Jaeger'. These men...
Well, certainly formations like Lutzow's Friekorps fought well, and some of the new volunteer formations were used to build the new Prussian regiments in 1814....
Pete, I can't check the books as I am at the office but the effect of what you propose for the Landwehr means they cannot fire a musket volley. If the sources...
Hi I've renamed this thread because, due to my clumsiness in posting, we seem to be in danger of drifting away from what I intended. I am interested in how you...
Hi New thread for the other subject. ... Certainly the early Landwehr were very poor at musket drill ... I'm not sure. I'll give it a try, but it doesn't...
The lack of ability to form line would mean they were used as little more than a human battering ram. Personally, I am comfortable with the 3/1 rating in the...
Pete, I had a swift look at Osprey Men at Arms Prussian Landwehr & Irregular Troops-or title to that effect and there is a short passage from diary or letter...
I would stick to the definitions and abilities listed in the SHAKO rules and only deviate for a specific scenario where historical comments seem to make it...
Hi-I have asked this question before but never got a satisfactory result. If in the 15mm sheet musketry is 4inches-I am presuming that this represents...
Note: "Artillery and musketry scales are distorted..." (1.1) so using musketry range to develop unit frontage in yards is not appropriate. I am not sure...
Hi I am cleaning out my figuer collection (so I can buy more but don't tell my wife ;) ). All the figuers are 15mm Min-Figs (old style). Foot battalions are...
Hi-firstly thanks Terry for your reply. Next question-if a unit cannot move only forwards when within flank lines how does one extricate the unit to a place to...
Under SHAKO rules, the Staggered unit can not recover where it is and can not voluntarily withdraw out of Zone of Control. It's always dangerous speaking for...
This is something I have struggled with since beginning to use the Shako rules. In the end I have settled on cavalry units of four 3 figure bases, which...
We use 3 bases, but 4 is better. Indeed, if not for the Austrians, I think all infantry battalions would look better as 4 stands arranged 2 by 2 in column; 3...

Lloyd, I don't have my references handy, but 75 yards for the depth of a battalion in column of divisions seems a bit deep. Do you have a reference for that? ...
True, but we use a basing scheme started by one of our members that mimics the Napoleon's Battles scheme, but in 25mm: 1.5 inches wide, 2 inches deep. It...
There are too many variables to consider this with any definition. A closed column would be much shallower than a column of divisions deployed at intervals,...

Hi Alan I'd be interested in maybe buying a few armies. Could you supply rough makeups and prices, as well as estimates on postage to Australia? Thanks Tom ......

We have our 15mm shako armies based with 12 figures infantry and 9 cavalry but were thinking of using two ranks (so dubble up). We tried some battalions and...
