Gentleman, a pretty silly question. I'm using shako for syw period, since I realized that this set of rules can very well work also for lace war. the point is...
Hi guys, Last Saturday we fought out a large 6mm battle of the first day at Aspern-Essling. I've written the following report for the club magazine: "Glyn and...

... Glyn, one of the guys who designed the scenario, has recently joined the group so maybe he could answer some questions. I have a copy of the map I can scan...
I have just started putting together a French force in 15mm to refight the 1809 wagram campaign. My query is that I have just ordered from Essex, some French...
I am not familiar with Essex brand, but could these be the elite companies of line infantry. I would look for swords, if they have swords and bayonet not just...
Hi-I have just purchased 2 Spanish armies (someone has to lose ) both painters have left the haversacks in plain white-my readings lead me to believe that they...

In the case where both sides have victorious cav making a breakthrough, the dice decide which order the moves are made. My question is, if you have a unit...
That is a fine question. My OPINION is that a cavalry unit should only be able to participate in a maximum of two melees in a turn. I would not allow unit B...

Well, that's what I get for going from memory and not looking up the rule. 11.3 Breakthrough Phase (p23): "Note Breakthroughs are awarded only to cavalry that...

Skirmishers are dispersed without any other effect; the cavalry move unhindered, may enter a melee vs. formed opponents and are not blown. I don't think Shako...
Formation requiements apply to flank support; any formation is fine for rear support. Masse is a column for purposes of support. We'll see what Arty does with...
Greetings, I played my first game of Shako last Saturday (and lost of course). I'll be playing again this weekend (and hope to have a copy of the rules by...
Hi Jeff: Keep you plan simple, arrange your infantry battalions in a divisional formation that has units mutually supporting (correct flank support formations...

Jeff, Since artillery fires at the beginning of each turn, it is important to remember to leave lanes of fire for your guns (for the start of the next turn)...
Chris, Thanks for the advice -- but I didn't get it until after I returned from the game. I generally had the dice-rolling thing wrong. I rolled low when...
