Hungarian Army Lists

Post by jflanagan »

We are starting a new Renaissance campaign based around the events of The Deluge - the Swedish invasion of Poland in the late 1650's. I have opted to create a Hungarian force for this period, but find that it falls into a "gap" in the army lists. What list would be closest? I am thinking that the Kuruc rebellion list from Duty and Glory is the best, but should there be any alterations.

Also, where can I find information on the forces? Do Hungarian lancer Hussars look like Polish Winged Hussars? Any information from people would be helpful

I think the Transylvanian list is a much better list. The Kuruc rebels were just that rebels. The intervention in Poland was by an organized state. I think the only difference would be that fewer mercenaries would be available since their finances were worse by 1650. I have a book with color plates, Hussars varied considerably, many Hussars would be similar, leopard skins, lances and pistols, breastplates, however Poles liked the dual feather wings and the Hungarians had 2, 1 or none, so mix 'em up.
