The One-Eyed Wanderer — Jan Žižka begins as a mercenary captain raiding the estates of Heinrich of Rozmberk. With no villagers and a small force, take over settlements or loot their stores, intercept supply convoys, and build enough strength to storm the fortified castle 2. Courage and Coin — Žižka’s company fights alongside Polish and Lithuanian allies in a major clash with the Teutonic Order. Keep the Polish king safe while building an economy, then either defeat the enemy forces outright or strike down their three commanders 3. The Iron Lords — Žižka leads a poorly equipped Hussite force across hostile territory to reinforce Tabor.

The Emperor’s Fury — A Hussite force must break out of Kutná Hora as the crusaders close in. Reach the northern allies, then use their city and reinforcements to dismantle the separated enemy camps and defeat Sigismund and Zawisza 6. Warrior of God — Žižka’s final campaign confronts royalist resistance and a split within the Hussite movement. Build on the support from Tabor and Lithuania, defeat the Royalists and Plzeň, and decide when to secure Prague through Zygimantas before the city is reduced to ruins Use the named objectives, starting setup, and mission order in this entry to distinguish it from the standard skirmish rules.
