Hussite Starter Army (aka Newbie Question)

Hey everyone,

I've been wargaming several periods for a number of years now, but with preordering FoG today, I'm taking my first steps into Ancient/Medieval (and I'm looking for some advice).

It's been toguh trying to filter all my interests and decide which army I want to start out with, but since my city was founded by Moravian (of the religious group founded by Jan Hus), Hussites would be very appropriate.

I know they are to be covered in the Ottomoman book in September, but since I wanted to get a head start in collecting and painting, I was wondering if some of the more veteran players out there could help me out by formulating some semblance of an army list. I know there's gonan be war wagons and handgunners (lots of them), but some more specifics would be nice. Thanks

-Andrew

Well we need to keep the lists confidential but I did test out my hissites in3 test games during development so here is roughly what it contained:

2 BG each 4 x Hussite Cavalry
1 BG of 4 x Bohemian Noble Knights
7 BG each of 2 x BWg with supporting billmen and handgunners on the bases
2 BG each of 4 bases of billmen separately deployed
1 BG of 4 LF handgunners

13 BG in total in the army

LF Handgunners! Is there now a third version of this list. I've not seen them on the versions I have.

Whilst there may be a later version than the one you have Si's list is even earlier - so go with your version

LF hangunners are rather good fun.

Not surprising, given that they are normally protected firearm, so lethal in hand to hand combat against other skirmishers and also give a minus on shooting Cohesion Test due to their weapons making a loud noise!

Yes my army is simply the one used for testing pre finalisation of the list. I don't think the LF handgunners stayed in there but its not abad rough guide - which is all I said it was.
