Battle Maps

Review

By David S. Doty


Now available from James Mitchell of Old Battlefields Press are a series of battle maps with an accompanying Order of Battle and thumbnail history of the action for only $3 each. These cover the War of the Austrian Succession, Seven Years war and War of American Independence.

Each map is done in color with all terrain features clearly indicated as well as the initial deployment of the opposing forces. When appropriate, the opening movements of the antagonists are also presented. I procured the sheet for the Battle of Mehr, which was fought between the Allies (Hanover, Brunswick & Hesse Cassel) and the French in August of 1758. I found the depiction of the terrain and forces to be absolutely correct.

If you game the period 1740-1783, these maps will be an invaluable addition to your collection. Old Battlefields Press and Jim may be reached at e-mail: Jackson@mail.acongrp.com
