"Gettysburg with the Bruce Weigle method, but how?" Topic

I read the pdf of the beautiful terrain boards from Bruce Weigle, I also have some baccus 6mm ACW iniatures. So, I like to build the Gettysburg battlefield as an terrain board. Maybe for the start only the northern part to play the first day. Mr Weigle made the buildings smaller, but I like the overall look. But maybe I still buy the terrain from total battle miniatures or I make my own smaller Lutheran College. I bought the great book from Gotfried to get some maps. Now I know the location of every field and fence, but know little about the hights of the hills and ridges :-)
So I need a good topographical map about gettysburg.
Any tips, pictures and help is very welcome!
Thanks!

Hi

try.

trailheadgraphics.com

They have great typographic battlefield maps.

Bought one from the museum there. Should be possible.

You can get a great one free online (warning: lrge image file) and it has the topo as it was at the time.

This is waht I used for my now defunct Gburg project

Defunct? Aw. And Killer Angels?

Yeah the board peeled apart – peg board proved to be a bad choice. Right now I just don't have anywhere to work on it and rebuild it.

Bitter Angels is on the back burner, due to come back this spring.

I used Desjardin map from Friends of Gettysburg.

I forgot, I have the Guns of Gettysburg boardgame. Why not use the mapboard as a plan for the gameterrain? May it work or what could be the problems?

About the Friends of Gettysburg maps: I am from Germany so it is tricky to get those maps.

'Extra crispy' that link is brilliant, great maps.
I don't know if this link will work but if anyone is interested then check out a refight of Gettysburg game we played recently, using DBACW.

If it doesn't work go to the DBN wargaming site and check out the battle.

Here ist the link to Mr Simmons design block. He uses different old maps. Very interesting read!
