Hey guys, seeing the uptick in discussion about the German Peasants' War following some previews of the lovely Steelfist Miniatures by the talented painterman, I myself have been tempted by the period. True to my identity as a scenario-based historical wargamer, I've done some base-level digging into the period with some easy-to-access books and online material. In doing so, I've become enticed by the Battle of Schladming, one I'm sure more knowledgeable enthusiasts of the period will immediately recall as the greatest peasant victory of the conflict. However, I, being an amateur historian, am struggling to find accessible sources on this particular battle.
Douglas Miller's "Armies of the German Peasants' War 1524-26" provides a brief description of the battle, in which that 3500 rebels (many were miners) led by Michael Gruber succeeded in making a flank maneuver by night before attacking and routing an Austrian mercenary army of 5000 the following morning. I know from that brief description that the peasants divided themselves into two columns on the march, and used the Austrian artillery they captured on the field to break their adversaries' armored horse. However, I'm desperate for more details of the battle, including but not limited to a map of the area, musters for either side, and more detailed accounts of the combat. Thanks in advance guys!
