Fuentes d'Onoro 1811
Author [HWK]Stu, Fuentes de Onoro (FB Map) 1811 (Peninsular War). Only the
second time a Hawk has been allowed to publish an already existing map for the same game, this creation is features some
great original scenery and compelling play. A numerically superior French army (blue) nearly forced their way through
Wellington's spread out Allied force (red) but after several rebuffs, decided to withdraw. Not proud of his own
performance, Wellington is known to have said "if Bonny (Napoleon) was in charge today, we would have surely lost".

Author: [HWK]Bud, [FB American Civil War Map], 01 July 1863 General Lee's Army Of Northern Virginia of 75,000 men and the
97,000 man Union Army Of The Potomac under General George G. Meade met, by chance, when a Confederate brigade sent forward
for supplies observed a forward column of Meade's cavalry. Of the more than 2,000 land engagements of the Civil War,
Gettysburg ranks supreme. Although the Battle of Gettysburg did not end the war, nor did it attain any major war aim for
the North or the South, it remains the great battle of the war. Here at Gettysburg on July 1, 2, and 3, 1863, more men
actually fought and more men died than in any other battle before or since on North American soil.
