Sorry for the double post. My computer froze while sending, and I didn't realize anything posted the first time. Hence the differing headers (Thank goodness...
Scott: Although I was not a member of the privileged few who were in on initial game development, take what I say with a grain of salt. That being said, I do...
I am trying to contact Arty Conliffe about help with a regiment type scenario for a battle fought in Spain 1809. I am putting together a paper magazine for...
Do you mean the battle of Valls? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Valls ________________________________ From: Michael Koznarsky <weesp@...> To:...
Correct Bill. Arty frequently states that he has enough trouble winning games without having some guy who's an inch tall causing him more grief! And yes,...
Michael, I cannot speak for Arty's interest in such a project, but I do have a scenario for Valls, using some Spanish source material, as well as a variety of...
Great answers. That makes sense. So the way to approach it (if at all) would be in specific scenerio design, with agreement of the players if anything...
Yes, my error. Valls. ... From: steven lampon <stevelampon@...> Subject: Re: [shako] Scenarios To: shako@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 2, 2009,...
I'll try to answer the questions posed in the body of the text below. Thanks very much for writing so quickly. Â I chose Shako because Bill Gray, the author...
Hi Michael, I'm still looking for a reply on your focus, as it affects how the scenario is designed and played. Are you looking at using Shako 1 large battle...
Hi again Michael, Sorry, our posts crossed paths without me seeing this most recent missive. Okay so your focus is a scenario to support an article, but you...
Hi Michael I did not notice that sappers could not move independently. The way you suggest playing them seems common sense, and I implicitly understood it was...
I should add that I have not thought out the rules for an unattached sapper company attacking a battery. Technically both are only partially formed. The...
Sorry, I should also note that if anyone is enthusiastic (crazy) about trying sappers as independent non-formed units, I'd allow the melee between a sapper...
Remember that the goal is to create a good balanced game that "looks and feels" like a Napoleonic battle to the players involved. The game should not to...
Terry: Wish I'd said that! I like big campaign games but don't have the time. I like competition games two to three hours when I can find an opponent ... ...
Mike- How do you base your units? I like your "20 figures each" number. I was looking at doing 4 figures per stand, 4 stands per battalion, with a (roughly) 1...
A time ago someone mentioned in this list that he was looking for a rule book on Colonial Wargaming by Arty Conliffe. This was later corrected by Chris Leach,...
Well said George! Chris does deserve a lot more kudos, not only for the excellent work you describe but his facilitating getting Shako 2 to print. Without...
George and Michael: Thanks for the very kind words from you both. Like so many of these projects, they wouldn't happen without other people and while I did ...
we have play or first game and my friend had a div demoralized. the div. go to defend order. he charged my battalions. can a demoralized div move? thanks...
Chris was kind enough to give me a copy of MtG some years ago. I and my group play tested it as well. We found the system worked very well and had a good...
A demoralized division that was executing an attack order reverts to a defend order. Obviously, one with a defend order remains so. A demoralized division...
Within the stationary divisional command radius, yes. A Demoralized division must defend, but otherwise may fight normally albeit with reduced strength due to...
Stress...yeah...that is what we all need right now! Of course that is the reason we play campaigns, yes? In my group, like most I suspect, campaigns often...
Gang: This reminded me of a question that has come up in our games: How small is too small? Example: Do cavalry Brigades (2 Regiments) have to be assigned...
Scott: The lists I refered to were from the Bit. National wargames Championships Napoleonic competition using Newbury Rules some thirty years ago. The lists...
