Literally a wagon of war!
Good find D, wonder how accurate it was?
Check out this site (in Czech) - this page is the one about the wagons - http://husitstvi.cz/vojenstvi/husitske-valecnictvi-trochu-jinak/vozova-hradba/. There are lot more interesting stuff here.
You can also pop 'husitska vozy' into your browser for more image, etc.
I had an army of Hussites once, but they were virtually unbeatable and so rather dull after a few times.
Did they coloruful? or just wooden color wagons?
Not sure how accurate these are but they are fun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtCGXfc20PM&feature=youtu.be

The perspective is all wrong! There were supposed to be gaps between wagons covered by chains and/or pavises, but, otherwise they fit with the written accounts. Ian Heath seems to be mistaken that there is a manuscript in the British Museum (I found none), unless there is another one that also has a rock thrower, it is in Vienna.
Wood colour rather than coloured by paint it seems.

yack, I painted mine in bright yellow and blue strips.... so bad
Is it close to the historical one or is historically aberrant?
