Army Lists Question

I was thinking of doing a homebrewed Ottoman vs Habsburg/Hungarians. Are there army lists for early 16th century Ottomans/Hungarians/Habsburgers? (Battle of Mohacs era). Not sure I'm looking in the right place.
thanks

There are no in-game army lists for these nations prior to 1560, but the required units are available in the Editor (because a Mohacs scenario was used as a test-bed during development and all the units are still in the Squads file).
The Ottoman army of 1526 would be pretty much the same as in the earliest Tercio to Salvo Ottoman list.
The Hungarian army (at Mohacs) would consist of Western style gendarmes, Szeklers, bow-armed hussars (light horse and cavalry), foot archers, plus some arquebusiers, small units of Lansknecht pikemen, and light guns.
If you don't want to fiddle with the Sides.txt files, you need to have the Hungarians as Side0 and the Ottomans as Side1.

I thought you meant you were going to make a scenario. You don't need to "Edit" anything, just put the units on the map in the scenario editor.

No, my original question was cut off by mistake. I was going to homebrew a campaign and resolve the battles in Skirmish mode. I would need a Hungarian/Habsburg/Ottoman army list to do that. Not sure that is possible.
Anyway, thanks. Sorry for the confusion.
