I'd be shocked. The only historical ruleset I've seen even started is DBM.

Shako is a moderate and grand battle ruleset for
Napoleanics, with some nifty extensions for the
seven years war. It is suprisingly simple and
fast paced for a Napoleanic wargame.

Hi folks.

I just searched through the archives and found nada.
Does anyone know, have there been any AB data files
for Shako, preferably the napoleanic set?

I thought I would ask before I started the daunting
task of building my own.


Thanks,

Tony

There are also files for Taiko and WAB that are complete. Other than that,
DBM is the only other historical game at this time.

Thanks, Rob

There is a reasonably good tutorial on ABCreator included with the
Construction Kit (but I'm a bit biased <G>). While the documentation is
extensive for the Kit, MUCH of it really isn't necessary right away,
especially if the game system is reasonably simple. Skim through the whole
document, then zero in on the few critical sections. Also use this forum as
an excellent resource for answers and suggestions when you get stumped. You
are also welcome to email me directly with questions, although all the data
file authors are on this list and you'll get a lot of great ideas if you
post your questions here. Plus, the sharing of ideas helps trigger new
ideas on how to do things for all the other authors on the list.

Let us know how we can help out and we'll do our best to support you.

Thanks, Rob
