The point is exactly as you lay it out in your first paragraph. A unit may not attempt Hasty Square until actually charged. If circumstances such as enemy 6...
Yes, but does a high die roll by charging cavalry and a low die roll by a square mean the cavalry broke the square or the infantry failed to form a good square...
I`m having trouble understanding these infantry square rules! Now, which of these things was actually true of infantry squares? 1. They didn't fire. 2. They...
I've gotten around to shooting a pic of the square stand with a little better light, and posted it in the 15mm folder. I shot the stand next to a battalion of...
I was of course addressing the rules and the design decisions made based on relative performance between formations. So... Of course, squares fired, but in...
Thanks Chris... I have started to play Shako again in the last year or so, since keen a Shako gamer moved into the area... we have been using a house rule that...
Take the other players into a bar, add 2 pints innocently remark that you don't understand why Napoleon lost. You will receive more adve from prospective...
Hi We have just finished an interseting game; a couple of problems/suggestions with regards the optional rules. STAFF OFFICERS We like the idea of the staff...
Mark Good idea, we have been thinking about it for some time. We use 3 No. 30*30 bases (6 figures)per battalion, so squares are really messy looking. so the...
If I rebased my thousands I would reorganize the 3 two rank bases as follows: two bases of two ranks and one split by ranks. This would allow a two base wide...
Michael, I have written some thoughts after you comments below. Lloyd I`m having trouble understanding these infantry square rules! ? Now, which of these...
Using less than 20 units per side may make the "6" initiative rolls to much in a game. We are completely happy with the rule however. As to the reammo. We make...
Chris, Â All you say is true....but squares do move, granted, not very fast. The +2 is fine and well until you MR 5 or 6 units. That +2 shrinks real fast when...
Yes, but since the square can't fire, just shoot it. It must roll to unsquare. Granted good quality troops will do this more often than not, but that is why...
Chris,  It might also have to do with he dice gods not being on myside M.D.Thomas  ... From: Christopher Leach <cleach@...> Subject: Re: [shako] Re:...
Boy, do I know that. I don't actually play games that often (I often run them) but when I do, I am well acquainted with the dice devil. I'm hoping for a...
Lloyd, I couldn`t read this part of your post until recently ...and I had to highlight it: "Michael, all of your points are good if you were playing a game...

Our purposes do appear to be crossed... you must realise, I guess, that I have only played Shako 1 with a few amendments. One of those amendments is to have...

Good points and true of any rule set, of course, David. I play Armati quite clean, but I tinker with most other games to suit my expectations. For now we...
It was Mark's site that got me to change my basing from the NBs 3/4 x 1 inch to the 1.25 x 1 with 3 by 3 figures. Excellent update and beutiful minis. I've...
There are a couple of other options for tufts besides buying the pre-made ones, which will look very nice. I use or have used both method for 15mm figures as...
I have quite unexpectedly come into a rather large amount of 10mm Old Glory Napoleonic figures. And of course I want to base them for Shako! (OK, and other...
