Next week we are going to play our 1th match using Sacile army lists listed in the rules.
Can someone help me in finding some maps with starting position of the divisions and with the kind of terrain ? in the book theese haven't been coverdered.

The sites below both contain scenarios for different Napoleonic tabletop rules for the battle of Sacile, which you might use as a basis for an FoG game. I had thought to convert one of them into a scenario for FoG, but thought I'd wait until I'd had a few more games to get a better feel for the timing of the Austrian IX Corps etc..., so that both sides have a chance.

Hi,

If the battle interest you, there is a nice book 'Eugene at war 1809' - A study of the Role of Prince Eugene de Beauharnais in the Franco-Austrian War of 1809 - by Robert Epstein (Empire Press) which a.o. covers this battle in detail;
A recommended book for beginners of the period. It ends at the battle of the Raab (14 June), just before Wagram;
so an excellent prelude to that other excellent book Armies on the Danube 1809 from the same publisher;
Although 'Eugene at War 1809' does not have the very detailed OOB and maps as in the Armies on the Danube 1809, it contains a lot of letters from Napoleon to Eugene, educating his son-in-law in the secret art of warfare;

In case you are wondering, no I am not connected to the publisher in any form .

Ciao,
