Hi, Dave Waxtel...October 21st we are having a bus tour & dinner, OMG a bus load of wargamers...run. We will be touring all the battlefields, and Museums in...
I've got a friend who is selling off a sizeable chunk of the collection. Just about all nationalities are available for sale. Infantry, cavarly riders, horses...
In this context I feel that the fourth element of Austrians as a disadvantage, as the French player can nicely arrange two battallions (one in line one in...
Yes, we have been having similar thoughts about the use of Large infantry units. Large and Small cavalry units do not seem to be so much of a problem, and the...
I think most SHAKO players feel the 4th Austrian stand is a disadvantage - especially in melee situations, as you point out. However, the "extra Kill" before...
Of course, if the French ended up taking 16 Kills at the same time the Austrians take 15 Kills, the French would lose 4 units against Divisional Morale while...
Terry, for some reason I'm still not getting emails of your posts, so I missed out on some of this ... (very strange situation) For my upcoming campaign, I...
Basically, the discussion was everyone agreeing the extra stand and Kill given to the larger Austrian infantry battalions was a net disadvantage to the...
I agree about larger cavalry unit not being the way to go. In contrast to the closely coordinated action of infantry companies, cavalry squadrons could...
Hard question. It depends on how you want to organize your units. We use 12 figs per battalion, 2 ranks. Each stand is 4 figs, 2 by 2, on a 1.5 inch frontage...
... I use 40mm square bases with 4 infantry or 2 cavalry. 3 of these make a Shako unit (They can also be used with many other rule sets when based like this). ...
Do you find that 40mm deep is enough for your cavalry? With Connoisseur, Elite, and Front Rank, I find I need 60mm deep to give the models room and protections...
I have seen an article using three figures to a base , mind you this was for 15mm and the frontage was 30mm which would make it almost 60mm for 28mm what does...
This would be fine. Again, with the big 28s these days using generous base sizes is the way to go. Three stands of 3 figures each in a single rank is ...
I agree. My 20mm armies are based 3 infantry per base (1 ¾ x ¾ inch) and three bases per battalion. These look just fine on the table top. My cavalry are...
Hello there, Just started using SHAKO for 6mm, and came to a halt, when basing. I have seen many different pics, showing different base sizing and number of...

Hi Phil, I have my 6s (Adlers and some H&R) based on 40x40mm dioramic bases for infantry and arty. I have anywhere between 10-16 figures on a base. My Brits...
It doesn't matter. What matters is the base size alone. Mount the figures as you want to. FWIW, I like to create a sense of mass, so I cram as many figures...
We make little trays for the figures, 40 mm square. For infantry, 4 strips of 40 x 10 mm, each with 6 figures, fit into the tray for column, or are removed for...
