I have recently joined a group who play shako in 6mm. I must say that it gives the best war gaming of how I feel napoleonics should be that I've found in 30 +...
Lloyd, I assume your rating of the French battalions as "second rate" in you example is a typo since all MR's and combat factors you quote for the French are...

Yeah, I know this is old, but I am new to this group. Was the French Revolution scenario book ever made? Brian ... announcment.dpf. ... range. ... battles ......
Bill, I went home and looked up some quick notes. In "Dying Hard" by Haythornthwaite, he comments about the Fusilier Brigade attacking at Albuera. The French...
Lloyd: in response to above: I am afraid I disagree with you here. The usage of columns TOUCHING each other was very rare. Columns marching with spacing...
I have found the last few messages about French columns etc very interesting, it is also one of my gropus bug bears about the rules. We play it in 15mm, with...
Bill, I think we need to have a clarification of what we are discussing. I think you did not understand the actual premise of my first post. So, please humor...
Hi Guys: I think we had this discussion about three years ago and there were some very good ideas generated. For advanced Shako there was a mandatory change ...
Lloyd: Thanks for the clarification. Things do get technical--that is the nature of the question, so it helps. The description you give for the French and...
Chris Leach's FIELDS OF GLORY is a wonderful SHAKO scenario book. However, it only covers battles from Napoleon's campaigns: 1796 to 1815. As far as I know,...
Lloyd, I agree with you. Once we started playing SHAKO, we quickly arrived at the same conclusion: Have the French attack as you diagram below. This tactic...
It seems to me your diagram credits the Spanish with only three companies per battalion while giving the French 6 companies per battalion. Assuming Spanish...

Terry: Well, I hope the diagram came out the way I typed it in. However, I am simply laying out what has been described as Girard and Gazan's deployment. If in...
Hi All: I like a variety of figure positions in my units but with the narrow basing in these rules and others, it makes putting units in column formation...
How long would a battle with about 6-8 battalions and 3-4 cavalry regiments per side take? I realize it is kind of a difficult question. I really like the...
Your diagram seems to show Girard's division advancing with 6 battalions in column in his front line. If 6 battalions in column advance on 4 battalions in...
I would guess such a battle with either 1 infantry division and 1 cavalry division -OR- 2 mixed divisions on the contending sides would take about two hours....

Hi David This is why I usually get OG "marching" figures, or Fantassin, or AB, whomever fills out my units. When the figures are marching, bayonets sticking...
