Shako II Scenario Books

 Hello There! I am a member of a number of Facebook pages on a number of Wargaming periods. This includes the Napoleonic Wars and on the 'The Napoleonic Wargamer' Facebook page, here, I contacted the author of these scenario books.


The titles include, Rise of Eagles, 1805, The Roads to Vienna, 1809, Eagles Over Bavaria, 1809,Duel of the Princes, 1809 and Blood Along the Danube 1809.

Each one is a massive amount of work on the period.It includes chapters on figure and ground scale, terrain rules, troop types, playing the game, units of measurement, formation morale tests, national characteristics and finally battles. All have a similar set up except for the 1805 book which has a campaign overview and a shortened version of the chapters listed in the 1809 books above.  

Coming from Canada these took six weeks to arrive but they are more than worth the wait. The offer a wealth of information and can be used for other rules sets with a little modification.

Highly recommended.
