Hi Evan, just on McEvoy, as I don't really know what exactly you are after I suppose There is not much I can help you with in her book but she did mention a few authors with modern analyses of the battle of Catalaunian fields so I shall post them below.
F.M. Clover 'Geiseric and Attila' (1973) Historia, 22: p. 104-17 which is available on Jstor if you have an account, I think you can read 3 articles without downloading.
S.I. Oost 'Galla Placidia Augusta: a biographical essay' (1968) p.296ff not sure wher to get this as Jstor only has a review
Ulf Tackholm which is hard to get and in German I think.
Below is a google books link for S. Barnish 'Old Kaspars: Attila's invasion of Gaul in the literary sources. unfortunately there are about 3 pages missing.
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=lHGO...es&f=false
Hugh Elton's book 'Warfare in Roman Europe AD350-425 is interesting as he points out that 5th century Huns were a lot more sedentary than 4th century ones especially around Hungarian Plain which as was pointed out was much different to modern Hungary with lots of River wetlands and probably more forest as opposed to 20th century. Hope this helps.
Regards
Michael Kerr
