I have posted complete draft scenarios for two Franco-Prussian War battles: Spicheren and Noisseville. ‌Spicheren draft scenario map by bbbchrisp, on Flickr ‌Spicheren draft scenario map by bbbchrisp, on Flickr The Spicheren game is a relatively small one, and includes an option for an even smaller "abbreviated" version. The idea is to add to the library of simpler, shorter BBB games. Noisseville is less well-known but a much bigger action, being Bazaine's attempt to break out of the besieged fortress of Metz. The full scenarios are on Flickr as well as in the files of the BBB Yahoo group. Neither of these scenarios has been playtested, so I can't vouch for their calibration. As always, feedback of any kind welcome. Chris Bloody Big BATTLES! link

Chris, both of the links appear to be identical (Spicheren). Could you post a link for the Noisseville scenario?
