Hi Mark, thanks for the hint, so the 6 Second Rate Units are Line Battalions. The Author just wouldn't have all the Line Infantry made poor. Regards, Holger...
SR is often used for conscript line troops in scenario design. Similarly, you will notice that in Michael's 1805 scenario book Russian grenadiers are not rated...
... I am no Saxon and therefore can live with the Second Rate Infantry too ;-) I was just wondering if special saxon regiments or troop types were concerned,...
Dear Holger, The eight line regiments are generally poor. Their supporting/independent composite grenadier battalions and light infantry "regiments" and...

Greetings, I have been in this yahoo group almost since the start, haven't posted in a long time. 1st Thanks to Chris Leach for all his time, helping others...
Greetings, In the French Army lists for pick up games, you have one skirmisher stand for every 3 Regular, Elite or Second Rate Infantry Battalions. ...
Thanks for the comments. Regarding skirmishers, the base size/ figures are the same (roughly the frontage of a regular battalion in line). You will need some...
Holger is right. However, I doubt you will ever need anything like 2 SK for every light battalion. The talk on this site over the years has indicated few...
... Please send me any typos you observe in the rules for the errata sheet. I have a couple of things on the errata sheet but would like to get some more...
Either there is one somewhere in the "Files" section of this site or someone once wrote a message regarding where someone could find one. You might check the...
Hi ! I currently read Shako II for the first time (I received it yesterday : nice job BTW) I need a clarification p.21: (3. Attacking Infantry opposed by...
don't have the rules to hand, but here it goes... When a DC independently (e.g., without an order) decides to halt the division to face a cavalry threat, the...
Hi all Just taken delevery of shako II and looking forward to trying it out. I notice the requirements for rear support 8.14.3 is visable within 6". This is...
I am considering a house rule to reduce the morale rating (for Rallying and Stagger purposes only – not fighting ability or Kills) for both dragoons and ...
Chris answered your question already but here is more input. I took this up with the powers that be during the play testing phase. My objection is if you want...
I think this is fine, Terry. Arty considered putting in a number of dual MR cavalry types but decided to keep it simpler. No reason why you couldn't do this...
I always appreciate any argument that considers the aesthetic, but I think keeping some distance between lines of battalions still makes tactical sense....
You make a good point about enemy ZOC. If one keeps his second line back so it is within 6 inches of his front line, but outside 6 inches of the enemy front...
Hi Dick, If you opted for a battalion that is 80mm long in line, you could either use the 9" map squares you've extrapolated from the proportions, or you could...
Thanks for the prompt replys It does seem a bit odd encouraging correct deployment with proper supports whilst at the same time forcing you to risk a stagger...
Cheers, Mike. Forcing the decision regarding support is a good thing -- ying and yang decisions should be part of all games. When it was 3 inches of Fallback...
The scenario book of the first edition "Fields of Glory" is still available and I think about getting a copy. As far as I understood the second edition rules,...
Since we have been playing (playtesting) Michael's new scenarios, the old book has not had much of a look-in. Yes, more skirmishers might be needed....
Chris is too humble. The Fields of Glory scenarios continue to stand on their own merit and are worth purchasing and playing. The difference between the two...
All, When might we see the "Big Battles Rules" that did not fit in Shako II? Dave said they would be included in the file section of the Shako website. V/r, ...
The big battles rules and the SYW stuff all need work to bring them into line with the new rules. It will happen, but slowly (unless someone is volunteering...
