CJ; Apparently Steve Burt's terse comment didn't register. There is an option that can be clicked at the bottom of each group message that should allow you to...
The play sheet is in error here. The actual rules say the following do not apply: 1. Flank line rules 2. Combat Deployment modifiers 3. Facing and formations ...
Can't remove people? Not quite true: its a Yahoo group, and the moderator can remove anyone they like and prevent them from getting messages. Bear in mind some...
I will be interested to see what Shako 2 does about this problem. But since the problem got designed into Shako I am not sure if it will be addressed. Once...
Our experience has been a bit different. We too use one volley roll against all attackers and we too give a stationary defender a +1 for point blank volley -...
Ah, the age old problem. Long ago, quite complex solutions were knocked around. I particularly liked some of them. The solutions in Shako II are not...

The rule from "Advanced Shako" that requires a staggered attacker to attempt to deploy into line, and staggers his flanking battalions if he cannot do so, has...
I'm a new member to the group, and this is my first question (so I hope I don't screw it up). I am about to re-mount Nosey's army for Shako, and have a few ...
... It may not have stopped it, but it means people who do it won't benefit. I saw someone try it - warned him what would happen if things went wrong. He went...
I love this rule -- Arty hated it. It will not be in Shako. I should stress that the concern over this rule was always the mass of text and circumstantial...
Keep the Brits on the same frontage. If you want to represent the large units with an extra stand, you can do so, but realize that this makes them more...
It is a good rule, but what we ran into was the massed column aficionado who kept his units in column anyway. Assume 5 columns moving forward to attack a...
I suggest mounting the British on the same size stands as your French. As you note, our discussions here indicate most of those voicing an opinion feel the...
Well, you know what they say about "good intentions" and the Road To ... ;) Just to be clear, is the problem that: 1. Players still try the phalanx despite...

That is a very good idea, and on a topic we have discussed here. It seems like it would create the typical see-saw effect of immediate counter-assaults. I'll...

CJ No disrespect but you are the one that needs to remove yourself from this list. This is not spam. You can do this in Yahoo groups, you can choose to not...
I have this pipe dream of doing a Marengo refight. Has anyone got any suggestions on getting more information. Maps, OP's that are easily converted to Shako...
The trouble I see with the melee restrictions you guys suggest is that IMO, we would like to discourage massed column attacks, but at the same time encourage...
