Impetus models the differences between troop types (and accordingly their tactical use) very well.Probably something that would be spectacular to game, I have thought about Hussites in 6mm with big diorama style bases. But came to the conclusion that it is probably something you would only ever play once.
Any mass battle set will work, you'll just have to make some tweaks, as you would for any non typical, and let's be honest, highly subjective, situation.Hail Caesar is a great toolkit set. Tweak the stats, give a couple of special rules to reflect the tactical preferances, and you're done.
Both DBMM and Field of Glory will work, assuming you like either of those rules.
My understanding of the wagon tabors is they were static fortifications - certain rulesets that treat them as mobile fortress don't quite seem right to me. With that in mind.it could potentially lead to quite static games - the Hussites just sit there behind their wagons, waiting for the enemy to hopelessly throw themselves against them.
Though one way round this would be to use interesting smaller scale scenarios, rather than just big defensive pitched battles. Skirmishes, raids, ambushes etc.... Perhaps a Hussites army is attacked whilst on the march, and hasn't time to set up the tabor.
If I do it I'm going to be doing it in 28mm using largely Kingmaker Hussites (Curteys) with a nice dash of Perry's Wars of the Roses/European Armies into the mix.I'm also looking at other ideas, all Late Medieval, to get me going as I've effectively been out of the hobby for four or five years and I'm in need of getting my blood up again Kind Regards.
But no different from your basic siege game. I'm thinking spectacle at the moment but I do take your point.
Sorted these out for a friend who used them (successfully) in a Swordpoint tournament recently. The kingmaker range is excellent
Lion Rampant doesn’t have any rules for war wagons in its original format and as it’s aimed at smaller engagements might not be completely suitable, despite being fun. But there are some modifications for it here:https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/duxrampant/war-wagons-t372.html?sid=786e4496ac854374e1570d334d5b7703
Dr. Zombie did an AAR of the battle but sadly the pictures were lost in Photobucketgatehttp://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=76943.msg941515#msg941515
