I am thinking of adding a battle or two from these wars to some upcoming game releases. These will be small print runs given the typical topics and the fact we are a small operation. We are looking for battles from these wars with interesting decisions to make and that fit our game parameters. All games have 48 units maximum and utilize a hex map with thin hexes but is geared for miniatures with putting the 5/8 inch counter behind the miniature stands. The system can accommodate small and large battles. We are looking at blow up vinyl maps for those who want to add the miniature element. Thematic cards add historical aspects and vary play. Below is an example of the format (game package back) for the Battle of Isly in 1844 to give an idea of the format. While we have a few classic battles, I am more interested in the battles from lesser known wars and we have quite a few in development and would welcome any suggestions on these two wars where we currently have none. For example, Peta and Siege of Athens look like possibilities for the Greek War of Independence and had some significance in that war besides having interesting battlefield decisions. A review of the initial game in this series is here for anyone interested though we have expanded it a tad in complexity and increased the cards from 16 to 20:

Nice initiative. For Hungary 1848-1849, I'd suggest the most pivotal and the one that offers most interesting game choices is Pered:

It's a pretty big one, ~40,000 v 25,000 or so.

Best of luck with your game series.
