Hi David,
The mention of Shako and Bayonet stirred something in the old grey matter. Buried away on a memory stick I have just uncovered a copy of Shako and Bayonet 1791- 1850 and also Bicorne and Bayonet 1791-1802. I can't recall where I downloaded them from. I thought it was the WRG website many moons ago. Both are clearly works in progress with many sections of red font text which is similar to the way Phil issued revised drafts of other rules when under development (DBMM and DBA3).
They are intrinsically the same with the former expanded to cover the longer time period. Two bases to form a battalion or similar of 500-800 men, standard DBx basing.
Shame there was no further development. Might give them a go.
Martyn.

Hi there Martyn
Great news to hear they have survived in any form, I have been trying for years to find a copy. A number of us helped with suggestions for and development of HFG, but that seemed to often get put on the back burner as Phil worked on other projects.
I guess these sets were before Phil decided on three sub-sets without overlapping dates, the tightly-dated Bicorne and Musket is interesting and something I've never heard of - it's possible both sets pre-date HFG and were put aside while that was worked on.
I would love to play some games with these and see what PB was thinking.
Can you send a copy to dfmbrown@mpx.com.au
Many thanks in advance
David F Brown
Happy to send over, its got your name on it so it must be yours.
Martyn.
