Hi Terry, I have seen some sites with scenarios out there. The Coa scenario at http://www.angelfire.com/sd/scarvie/coa.html and my own being the first ones...
Probably a freak result. The "penalty" suffered by the square if meleed by a column is that they cannot fire before the melee; if they lose it they are broken ...

I use my old Scruby bases: 1.75 x .75 inch bases for infantry stands and 1.75 x 1.75 inch bases for cavalry stands. For infantry, that's real close to the...

Terry, I just looked in the Files section of our SHAKO site here. Advanced Shako is presented in three different files: Twice it is referred to as "New ...

Thanks for all your comments. Looking at them it would seem that the rules were not at fault, it was a lack of support for the attacks. The columns were a...
If you are using Advanced Shako, don't forget that in some versions a square CAN get a +1 modifier (against cavalry only) if supported by one or more squares...
