Hello, I'm new to the napoleonic era wargames and I intend to play Shako 2... I was wondering if the base size is very important (of course both opponents...
This has been answered many times before. 4 figures to a base 2 in the front two in the back or second rank. This allows you to play just about every game...
Steve is correct, but Dave's earlier suggestion of 2/2 (4 figs for infantry) and 2 side by side for cavalry and a single gun and crew allows you to play almost...
OK -- a general question on this issue. Using the 2x2 standard, infantry bases are are 3/4 inches front by 1 inch side. Does anyone else have a heck of a lot...
On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 5:13 PM, Brian McCormack ... Dunno. I base my 28mm figures on 40mm square bases, so each infantry figure gets 20mm square, or about...

All, Our group is a group from central Maryland. We are planning a Shako II Pennisula Battle Of Barrosa for Cold Wars 009. If anyone has a Shako II ready map...
Frank Preziosa here Cold Wars Director Tony Let me know if I can help you guys out in anyway If you haven't get your event in to the events manager Looking...
... Tony: Here is the OOB I have for Barrosa. Hope this helps. Barrosa 5 March 1811 British Army Commander: Graham 5/3/2/1 Dikes Brigade: 2/1 Foot Guards:...
... A way of making the 2/2 basing more flexible is to mount 2 inf side by side on .5x.75 (or whatever size you want) and put magnetic bottoms on them. Get...
Gentlemen, I am sitting idle waiting for airline bookings to come back with a confirmation, so I thought I'd drop in and see the recent posts. All of the...
Without intending any offense, since everyone uses favourite sources, my observation is that the focus from a few of our compatriots is on half the battle....
Guys: How much of a problem would I run into if my infantry in line was 1" - 1 1/2" wider than my cavalry in line? I am thinking of basing 24 infantry on...
If you are using three bases of infantry, I guess you could call this “Basing System A”, which calls for three bases of cavalry anyway. Since your bases...
I would actually consider my basing system as "D" for infantry and using the extra base (large battalion option). Yes, 15mm. Forgot to mention that. Another...
Hi Keith, It was great to meet you at the Talavera game at Historicon this year. I have experimented with using a 4th stand for units that are over 800 men...
Michael: Thank you for the detailed response. It was a pleasure to meet you as well. It has been even more of a pleasure to own your first (of many, I hope)...
In my admittedly limited experience (2 games), it is overwhelming apparent that you need to make sure support is in place when assaulting. I found that moving...
Well supported artillery (and good dice rolls)! Get up close and shoot fast - as the man said. David ________________________________ From: David Waxtel...
Keith Thanks for the kind words. I have Jena and Auerstaedt although both are undergoing minor revisions based on German sources I am reading. I am not fluent...
If you have some info on OOB for Jena/Auerstaedt you could share, I would be grateful as I need to buy Prussians for it and would like to get started. I think...
That's a nasty question Dave! From my perspective it depends on a lot of variables including the strength of the position, the time urgency in taking the...
Keith, I am on the west coast at this time due to a death in my immediate family. I don't have access to my e-mail but write to Michael.Hopper AT gov.mb.ca...
