This was a battle during the Spring Campaign in Hungary in 1849 would anyone have a map of this engagement? Thanks, Shipka |

If you go to the BBB blog run by Chris Pringle he just released a scenario of that battle which includes a map of the battlefield as he sees it. |

Thanks, Mike. Yes, I've done a scenario for this battle. Actually it's freely available in the files of the BBB Yahoo group (along with about 50 other well researched historical scenarios for various C19 and early C20 battles).
link The scenario itself is a first draft which is going to have its victory conditions and reinforcement schedule adjusted, but I am confident that the terrain map and deployments are reasonably sound. Chris Bloody Big BATTLES!

Reading about the river it would appear that the village was located on the lower slope of a gentle hill |

Hi Geoff, If you look at a map you will see the village of Tapio-Bicske is nestled on the flat along the river, with a gentle hillside SW of it. I have updated my Tapio-Bicske scenario after Mike's playtest. Revised version is now in the BBB Yahoo group files:
