Title: Hussite Battle (and new recruits)
Post by: AdamPHayes on 02 June 2015, 09:58:20 PM: Finally got all my Hussite wagons, gun wagons and palisades ready and on the table at the weekend. A good portion of our amalgamated medieval collections were given an airing.

An interesting game, lots of different troop types and a real challenge for the Imperialist player.

Yours are spectacular!

Best,

I haven't had the time to read your blog but, if you don't mind me asking; what rules were you using?

I wanted to do something similar using perry 28's, but never got around to it. I found out I really hate painting wood...

I was looking at your banners and noticed something.
Why is the Constable of France leading the Hussites? ;D

Lol. We do shamelessly reuse our figures for all sorts of armies...

Most of the wagons are Irregular Miniatures with a few Essex Miniatures too. We use the Piquet rules Band of Brothers, which for all its quirks does allow a lot of subtle ways to give armies like the Hussites and their opponents distinctive character.

Funnily enough Jean II Le Maingre, or rather Marshal Boucilcault was at Nicolpolis.... Charles D'Albret or the Constable of France was definitely not at and of the Hussite conflicts though! lol lol

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with doing this per say- it's just that I get all anal about Late Medieval warfare :) (And that's my problem and not yours lol )
