The spots are filling up fast,but the real kicker will be the battle of Leipzig with 8-10,000 15mm figures. NJCON will be run June 6th & 7th in Kenilworth,...
Cold Wars is this coming weekend. Most of the staff will be hitting the road to get things going for Cold Wars. I will be fielding any last minute questions...
Waterloo at Cold Wars on Saturday morning is going to blow everyones mind. The playtest was absolutely stunning visually. It should turn some heads. Tom Uhl...
Hi guys, I had a battle this weekend where a thing happpened that caused some discussion. I wonder if you can help me here by giving your views on the subject....
... I think you did it mostly right - the infantry were surprised by cavalry appearing unexpectedly, as happened to Colborne's unfortunate brigade at Albuera. ...
This is correct and represents the advantage of winning initiative on consecutive turns. If on the first turn the Prussians had to move first, they might have...
Steve, it looks to me as though the writer was playing the French. So the Prussian cavalry moved first in the second turn and caused the Hasty Square attempts...
... You only have a dice penalty when forming Hasty Square - which would have happened had the Cavalry moved first. If you moved first, you can form square...
1. If the Prussian force was mixed, a battalion in square might invite an infantry attack. However, said infantry would have to move within 18" before they...
Terry, As I omderstand the rules, if the French player had his skirmisher(s) 18" from theur DC and that would give a reaction range of 36". Is this correct, or...
... Hi Mike - yes that was certainly part of my reasoning for the comment - Terry is right in that they would probably get summarily ridden down, but as you...
Yes, any attacking unit will activate a defending Division if the attacker moves within 18 inches of any type of defending unit except artillery. So a ...
Terry and all: We came to the same conclusion (Mike in TN is my opponent) last week. We are doing a Franco-Russian battle and the guy running my left flank...
Ok, instead of digging deep into the previous posts I am going to take the easy way out and ask what has been asked I am certain many times before. What is...
Hi All, At Quatre Bras many of the Dutch/Belgian line units (that were mostly raw recruits) and the Militia Battalions seem to have performed extremely well ...
Hi John, Doing one at the moment!! Bit pushed at present and am away this weekend but will try to give you some info next week. Are you also on the Crossfire...
George Hello this is my first post as I havn't been on here long I think you have done it correctly sadly it's the way the alternate moving of divisions with...
It appears Michael Hopper's Quatre Bras scenario will be featured in the SHAKO II rule book. I have played this scenario a number of times. Michael lists all...
That is right. The Russians could not respond to the enemy movement unless an enemy unit moves within 18" (25mm) of one of their non-artillery units OR they...

That would be great thanks Steve... Obviously I have heaps of historical OOB stuff but anything translating to SHAKO would be much appreciated... ... _____ ...
Hi Martin, That would be great - as mentioned to Steve I have a fair bit of historical stuff (and there is a fairly good OOB on Wikipedia too), but any info...
Hi Terry, Okay - hmmm, interesting... So that scenario's been around a while and been thoroughly played then? Your second point is sound, and is my intent, but...
Hi all, Does anyone know what the difference is between these two books - all the research I have done suggests they are different but as the second is a Pen &...
... 1815 The Waterloo Campaign: Wellington, His German Allies and the Battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras ... Hi John, you are kinda doubling up a bit. One book...
... As a general rule I would make the line, jager and Nassau battalions 4/1. They were certainly no worse than other line troops. While there were a lot of...
Hi everyone, What I decided on, was to rate the Brunswick Avante-Garde and Leib as REG/LI respectively because of their experience in the Peninsula. Likewise,...
