Hussite Wagon ranged-cover formation
Hussite Wagon: Hussite Wagons can shield supporting units from ranged pressure and naturally sit ahead of other ranged troops while remaining behind melee units. That makes them a moving cover layer for a carefully mixed army.
Overview
Hussite Wagon: Hussite Wagons can shield supporting units from ranged pressure and naturally sit ahead of other ranged troops while remaining behind melee units. That makes them a moving cover layer for a carefully mixed army.
Plan and execution
Group Hussite Wagons with ranged units and a melee screen, then advance in formation so the Wagons protect the firing line. Use them to approach a defended lane or hold space while siege prepares to work. Reposition the entire group when the enemy changes attack angle.
Risks and adaptation
They do not replace the melee screen and can be threatened by siege or conversion. Avoid leaving Wagons isolated in front of the army, and withdraw the ranged units if their protection line breaks.
