Hello LLoyd, Since Prussia didn't use landwehr prior to 1813 "POOR QUALITY TROOPS". ALL I hear about is LANDWEHR being poor quality troops. Everyone seems to...
The point is, I think, that there should not be, by rule, elimination of the possibilty that lower quatlity troops will inflict two hits on a unit of higher...
I am OK with the SHAKO concept that troops with less training and elan did not have the fire discipline to be able to deliver withering volley fire, whereas...
Hi everybody, I'd like to add a comment on the landwehr subject. I already had, in the past, when i played with To the Sound of the Gun, a problem to cope with...
I agree the norale 3 and lower units are already penalised enough. I have only played Shako a couple of times and am new to the list. I have read the rules...
Interesting point the the ability of the French units in SHako recieve initiative and formation changes after or during movement too. This i suppose is offset...
Ok, what id a 2nd rate or poor quality unit rolls a 6... then is reguired to roll a 3+ or re roll that 6? Would that satisfy both arguments? ... From:...

At the risk of opening up an old debate, the type of column (I think?) you are describing (involving multiple battalions in a single formation) is largely a...
I don't think it has anything to do with higher head count. Please refer to rule 8.1.1 on page 10. The first paragraph has a good explanation of the Author's...

Hi, Just a couple of quick comments on your quick comments. ;) 1. Massed Columns. I have read of instances (most but not all in the Peninsula, and not all...
I recently purchased a set of the Shako rules and plan to set up a game very soon. Is a battalion that has both flank and rear support compelled to attempt to...
Rule 8.2 (p11): "A battalion that does not have Flank Supports must attempt to form Hasty Square if charged by cavalry." I think most players extrapolate this...
