Hi I am new to shako and would just like to ask if I am firing on an infantry unit with a frontal MR of 4, and I roll a 5, do I score a kill and a stagger or...
Yes, a kill and a stagger are possible. Also, it is possible to put a kill on a Guard unit but not stagger it (roll a 5 with volley fire). Regarding Shako...

... No, but my 25mm figures are based 4 to a 40mm square base. 12 figures to a battalion (or 6 figures for cavalry, which are based 2 to a 40mm base). Works...
Arty was toying with the idea of doing this using the Sash and Sabre figs. I don't know if he went ahead with the plan, but he was going to use just 6 fig...

I have acquired some too - they are drop dead gorgeous. I have heard that Sash and Saber has been talking with Old Glory about releasing a range of 40mm...
How does one record Kills in Shako? (figure removal/rosters/makers etc..) Am I right in thinking that numbers of elements in units and figures in elements are ...
... Markers or rosters. Little dice work well as markers, but I find rosters neater and easier - you need to draw up a roster to work out break points anyway ...
We found cheap neckless beads placed over the end of bayonets do the job quite well. And cotton wool for staggered or blown. Dave How does one record Kills in...
I use "BB"s. I arrange three of them in a flat triangle on a slick surface like aluminum foil. I put a drop of white glue in the center to glue all three...

Dear All Shako members, I'm wargamer from Poland and I will want to play Shako in 15 mm. On the web site Shako & Fields of Glaory I was found Advanced Shako...
Dear Rafal, Welcome to the group. The rules provide a good game and are worth using. The original rules-which are still the official set- were published in...
Dear Martin,
many thanks for your answer. I was read about change from D6 to D10 in rules and this idea is very interesting.
I have some quastion:
1) When...
Rafal 1/ No penalty for firing with hits, but to take hits you are probably shaken which is a penalty. 2/ I use both sides take one hit and then re-roll the...
Lloyd We use all modifiers the second time as well. However everyone is shaken because of the first round. The idea was just your scenario, you've fought them...
The other way to look at it is, instead of being an indecisive engagement, a tie represents a melee in which the two sides have actually engaged in hand to...
Yes, I prefer this approach. A 'melee' resolved in the first round must be considered one in which one side is swept away. The modifiers themselves are...

Hello again,
today I was play Shako, and i want to ask for melee dice. When I ws used D10 to morale rating units, to melee I must use D6 or D 10?

Hi Rafal, The d10 variant uses d10 for everything, including melee. Remember to halve the final result (and round off) to determine the number of kills to the ...
