Battle of Vítkov Hill
Jan Žižka and his Hussite forces defend Vítkov Hill against a Crusader assault using innovative wagon fort tactics, bracing for a brutal clash on the narrow ridge.
Setting
Vítkov Hill, a steep and rugged slope overlooking Prague, with a narrow ridge that serves as the Hussite defensive position. The terrain is uneven, scattered with rocks and patches of wild grass. The hill is crowned with a makeshift wooden palisade reinforced by overturned wagons, forming a defensive perimeter.

TNGF
SELECTED
Jan Žižka
primary
A grizzled, middle-aged military leader with a muscular build and weathered features. His most striking characteristic is the missing eye, covered by a crude leather patch. Scars crisscross his face and hands, testaments to years of battle. His remaining eye is sharp and piercing, constantly scanning the battlefield.
Hussite Captain
secondary
A grizzled warrior in his late 30s with a muscular build from years of campaigning. His face bears several scars, including a prominent one across his cheekbone. Short-cropped brown hair frames a sun-weathered face with piercing blue eyes that scan the battlefield with tactical precision.
Hussite Archer
secondary
A rugged, wiry man in his late twenties to early thirties, with sun-weathered skin and a short, unkempt beard. His frame is lean but strong, built from years of labor and warfare. His hands are calloused from handling weapons, and his eyes are sharp with focus.
Crusader Knight
background
A heavily armored knight in his late 30s, broad-shouldered and imposing. His face, partially obscured by the raised visor of his great bascinet, shows a weathered complexion with a prominent scar running down his left cheek. His steel plate armor is polished but bears the dents and scratches of previous battles, with a surcoat displaying the cross of the Crusaders.
Dialog
Jan Žižka
By the chalice and the word of God, hold this ridge! Let not a single Crusader pass—turn their pride to dust upon these wagons!
Hussite Captain
Archers, nock and draw! Aim for their banners—take the commanders first!
Jan Žižka
Steady. Let them tire themselves climbing. Then crush them like wheat under the flail.
Hussite Captain
Their knights are stumbling over their own armor on this slope—fine work, lads! Keep the wagons locked!
Jan Žižka
Now—flails and hooks! Tear them from their saddles!
