Played my first game of Shako in about a year last night, ( we do not seem to have much of a Napoleonic scene never mind Shako ), and used for the first time (...
Hasty Square is always optional. If you fail, you maintain your current formation but become Staggered and also can not fire. So you have a -1 in the melee...

Hi all, i am just getting back into gaming and painting after a considerable absence. 40 year birthdays do funny things to you. Anyhow, I am collecting 28mm...
Hi Simon, Many of our compatriots have posted comments in the past which in summary state that basing is best when it is consistent for all armies. If you...
Hello Chaps. Just some questions about basing but if I have any more I may add later. I have just recived my rules (yay!!!) and I'm eager to base. I have...
I use option "A" for both cavalry and infantry. I think your "A" cavalry will look just fine along side your "D" infantry. While you don't need to represent...
I haven't recorved the version 2 rule book yet but I am starting to base some figures. My infantry battalions are 4 bases 28mm figures each base 40mm x 40mm....
... I base my 28mm cavalry 2 to a 40mm square, and use 3 bases per unit, so the frontages match, but I don't think it matters that much if they don't....
Well I have been a long time lurker but I have finally uploaded a 28mm Shako game I ran at the HMGS South convention in September. It was a fictional setup in...

Well done Mike. The pictures are inspiring. The whole thing looks very impressive and is a really fine example of a demonstration game. Although the figures...
Chris - The Grass Mike has used looks to be the imitation grass mat like that used in show window displays and around swimming pools and stuff (i.e. similar to...
Thanks all for the comments. The terrain is actually and indoor / out door green carpet. It was 6' wide by 15' long. Nicely Home Depot sells the stuff...
Hi Mike, I used to attend Recon & Hurricon on a regular basis until about a year or so ago when there was a lot of discord. I am in Ft. Lauderdale - where are...
Mike, Yep - table mat as I suspected! :-) Obviously it's probably called something different in the US from what we call it down here in NZ & Australia! ;-)...
I am in Pembroke Pines - right down the road from you. I have been part of HMGS South since I was stationed @ HAAF in Georgia in 98. Did my tour of the world...
Greetings everyone, I have been pondering an issue regarding scenario design, whereby one or more formations are quite some distance from the army commander....
Michael, If you`d like to email me I could send you the rules that I have for general`s initiatives you may be able to make use of them or adapt them. ...
Michael, Â I have the same felling as you do on this subject in general. You also need to keep in mind that the Napoleonic era is replete with "Commanders"...
I actually think this is getting beyond the design specifics of Shako. Moving more into scenario rules or into a larger framing game. Lloyd ... From: Michael...
Michael, It also dawns on me that if you use the initiative roll for this you will have players wanting to do it ANYTIME they roll a "6". Plus players over 3...
I've just bought a 15mm Wurttemberg Army and the men would naturally like their illustrious King Frederick to ride with them. Frederick I of Wurttemberg was...

Do remember that Shako is still very generous regarding command and control. That isolated division was given an order at the start of the action, presumably...
Thanks everyone - all good points. I am not sure I've thought out the process properly yet but feel that there are exceptions that could still justify special...
Hi Michael: I think that if you go with a certain degree of autonomy, even for a single division, you still need to have that mechanic of adcs and orders....
Hi Mike: Here in Vancouver, but I'm afraid that it is not in a convention setting. 25mm, of course, AND 15mm to follow (don't ask why). Are you on the coast...
