What is From Shako to Coal Scuttle: Quick-play Battles from Waterloo to the Marne

From Shako to Coal Scuttle lets you get the feeling of a big battle, without memorizing hundreds of pages of rules and having to paint a thousand figures first.

Covering roughly a hundred years, starting with Napoleon and Washington and ending as the old world romance dies in 1914, an army consists of 8-12 infantry units with a few supporting cavalry units and artillery units representing the entire army taking the field.

Intended for 15mm figures and below, each unit consists of 4 stands (infantry/cavalry) or a single gun stand, meaning that a full army won't typically require more than 50 stands.

Commanding your army is done through the Command Dice mechanic:
