There has to be a tradename/trademark/patent suit in there somewhere, although I'm not a lawyer. I like the perspective, though! Keep taking the pills, and...
Well Mark, I have now settled down a bit and decided that I am sticking with Shako for both the Marlburian and Napoleonic periods. The stigma of the unsettled...
Hi 'dow146jardine' ... Any chance of outlining what changes/tweaks you have made to rules to cover Malburian period ? Cheers Gary Barr N.Ireland UK ...
Garry Firstly they are based almost exclusively on modifications Chris Leach suggested. I have added a couple of minor changes including a reduced command...
It's easy to see why there have been so many conflicts throughout history. Since the time of William the Conqueror, the British and the French have always...
Mark The War of Spanish Succession is often seen as early Seven Years War. Although this is superficially a reasonable assumption it does hold a number of...
Hello! All of the British and French miniatures have been sold. Following is what's left. Anthony Barton Battle Honors: These figures were purchased from...
Hmmmm. A rainbow army? Is that an early version of "don't ask - don't tell?" Yet another legal question for wargamers. Sounds good. Whenever I'm done with...
I've posted a couple pics of AB French - one with a battalion by itself and another with a battalion of Old Glory. It seems to me that they mix very well on...
Mark - must be a local joke. I have jst finished off 4 battalions of Dutch infantry - 96 little Dutch boys. More French next then a breather to paint up...
Right - got it! Probably apt as the Marlburian period is sometime eptomised as "the men wore lace and wigs and fought like lions". The Australian army has a...
You have the gift when it comes down to painting armies. I tend to get so mired into detail that painting an entire army takes years. But - that's o.k. I...
Thanks. I must confess that I concluded years ago that the idea is to paint armies, not individuals. So, mine do not stand close scrutiny, but the armies look...
Dear All I just finished playing a WoSS game - with the allies only pulling off a close and bloody victory by the intervention of the reserves. I have posted...
Gamemasters, There is still time to get your game in the HISTORICON Program book listing. Just go to historicon.org and enter your games on the GM Event...
I'm collecting a new spanish army in 28mm, basing 12 castings each battalion. My idea is to pitch in battle about two divisions, but I'm not sure how many...
There is no right answer for this. My personal opinion is that if you are just starting out with Shako, and not really familiar with the rules, you should be...
A division of six battalions and a battery is about the minimum one needs for a player to command in a battle. Eight battalions and a battery is OK, too. I...
... Yes - you can play small battles with Shako, but it becomes very chance dependent. One bad dice roll and half your force is gone. As Terry said, a force of...
Thank you. I'll begin with a mixed division: seven infantry battalions & two line cavalry regiments, with the battery gun. I think mixed division is right for...
I think this is a good approach. You need your division(s) to be large enough so that they won't get Broken or run off if a little initial bad luck causes...
Hi i'm new to forum. First bought Shako in the ninties and used to play it with a couple of friends. We loved it from the first game. But I then moved...
I would say that you need about 10 units per division/player for multi player one evening games, and 2 players per side and an umpire. Starting with your seven...
Is there a shako player in Majorca between 24th June and 8th July who wants somebody to throw some dice, will accept my bad Spanish, and allow me a break from...
Dear David, Welcome. Dealing with your query; the rules are structured in such a way to force you to press on with the staggered battalion as there was no way...
A member of my group named Dick also wants to be able to withdraw a Staggered and damaged battalion from the face of the enemy. I incorporated the following...
Terry, I tend to agree with you that a fall back should not be permitted. I prefer to play the rules as set out by Arty. I just don't think it happened that ...
