Muskets and Shakos is a unit based game where units are composed of 2 to 20 figures. In Muskets and Shakos you can choose from two sides, with a total of seven factions. In Muskets and Shakos you can command a division of troops, chosen from the following list:

French (including French satellites). Austrian. British (often including allied troops such as the Portuguese. Prussian. Russian. Spanish. Turks (both the forces of the Sultan and the Mamelukes).

Whichever you choose you must lead your men through the war, the Napoleonic War, fighting when needed because it’s all about victory and glory, and in some cases, just survival!

Muskets and Shakos shares game mechanics with our popular French & Indian War rules set, Muskets and Mohawks. If you already have Mohawks you have a leg up on learning Shakos, but if you don’t, no need to worry. We’ve broken the rules down into smaller pieces with examples and small exercises to make learning the game a snap.
