As I passed over the combat section I failed to notice any manuevers regarding a shield bash or push. Are there any rules that I missed that regard this issue?

I may be mistaken, but the Sword and Shield proficiency includes Bind and Strike, which uses the shield to execute the "Bind" component. Not exactly shield bash, granted. I expect if this is going to be gotten into, it'll be in The Flower of Battle, an up-comnig supplement. Have a closer look at the proficiency lists for maneuvres that include the off-hand. And not just the Shield and Sword prof.

You might find the discussion near the end of Any Swordsmen on this List? SCA? Etc? handy. Conducting a search for it should also prove to bear fruit.
