Not familiar with them but the title is tantalizing. We're still looking for a "playable" set for that era. I'm so dissatisfied that I'm getting ready to sell all my 28mm figures.

Noooo, don't do that. The best rules have a memorable mechanism and the original Shako rules do that, which you can now download:

Every unit has a rating and when fighting, both sides use that plus a d6, plus modifiers. It's a very simple system with enough complexity to make it enjoyable. Maybe these new ones are even better.
