im not sure this is the right place asking these kind of questions, but im looking for som battle maps of the battle of gettysburg.

im trying to recreate an huge battlefield with baccus 6mm figs. my focus is on the third day of the battle, pickets charge, and i like to get my hands on some detailed maps that shows the position of the union troops at the union centre, along the stonewall/the angle, the batallions/regiments, the reserves, the numbers of cannons, the possition of the brigade generals and if its possible, the terrain to.

i have tried the google search, but just got general maps of the battlefield out of that, no detailed or specific maps. im not looking for books to buy, i want something easy to come by here and now.

do you guys have any?

Hi, mangemani.

Have you had a look at  obscurebattles.blogspot.com? On the right hand side of the page click on 2014, then October, which is "Pickett's Charge". Might be of some use.

In the same series as The Gettysburg Companion is The Waterloo Companion.


A little goes a long way

The Waterloo Companion by Mark Adkin is probably out of print, but there are at least 25 copies available on Amazon.
