Larry, I know Front Rank has some nice Cossaks: http://www.frontrank.com/nap_rucavalry_frm.html I've not actually bought any myself, but I hear they are very...
Front Rank are very big and have a stiff and heavy style. They are very beautifully sculpted and cast with a metal I favour (hard and clean), but I don't...
Chris, In your opinion, if I want to start building a British Peninsular Army, to fight my French (a combination of Old Glory and Foundry), should I go with...
I like both ranges. Some of the Elite figures have rather long necks that some people have a problem with. I don't, and really love the range. Connoisseur...
Hello Everyone! I have finally received an original copy of the Battle Honours 15mm figures catalog. I will soon have a list of the figures I am willing to...
I think some clarification should be made here - Anthony Barton did in fact sculpt some Battle Honors figures in the past, but those were ancients, not the...
Hey Mark, You are correct. However, the ones I am selling are from 1987. They are the ones sculpted by Anthony Barton. In fact, I had to deal with him ...
If you had personal contact with him, and he stated that he sculpted them, that's farther than I can say. However, the old Battle Honors figures and AB a VERY...
I have recently dusted off my Scruby 1 inch scale armies from this period and used them in a SHAKO battle. I really like these guys, especially the French...

... We did something similar for Ghazis and Elephants when using Shako for games in India. Ghazis had MR 4 when shot at, but 6 in combat, reflecting their...
Thanks. This is just what I was thinking of doing. Then maybe have each WB roll to see if they were willing (3/5) or unwilling (2/4) the first time they took...

Hi everybody I'm working on the ottoman army list for pick up games, because I think the Shako I list doesn't not fit with the reality of such an exotic army...
I am very new to these rules. Is it only infantry in line that can fire at units that charge them? Can't artillery do so? Also - aren't cannister ranges a bit...
Hi Yes only infantry in line can fire at chargers. Artillery has already fired in the Artillery phase of the turn so cannot. Canister ranges are about right in...
SHAKO is abstracted to the point where the relationship between movement allowance and firing ranges is more important than the historical distances involved....
Thanks for the answers. I can see how the unrealistically long cannister range (in relation to roundshot ranges) ensures cavalry have to take cannister fire...
The change of formation rule for the French is generous but is meant to have a broad narrative impact -- after the game the French should have appeared to have...
