Hussite Wagon
Bohemian unique siege unit. Shields units behind it from projectile damage. Fires multiple projectiles.
Tactical Briefing
The Hussite Wagon is a 'Mobile Shield Generator'. Its unique ability reduces damage from projectiles that fly over it to hit friendly units behind it by 50%. It acts as a moving wall. It attacks with a main shot and 5 secondary bullets (great vs low armor). However, it is slow and vulnerable to Melee Cavalry and Mangonels.

Strategic Analysis
The **Frontline Anchor**. It forces the enemy to engage in melee or use siege, as ranged trades become inefficient against your protected army.
- The Wall Formation: Place them in front of your Hand Cannoneers or Arbalesters. They absorb arrow fire and reduce damage to the squishy units behind them.
- Anti-Archer: Because they have high Pierce Armor and the shielding mechanic, a mass of Wagons can push into Castles and Town Centers with minimal losses.
- Meatshield: Even if they don't do massive damage to Knights, they physically block pathing, allowing your Halberdiers to get good hits in.
Warning: Weak to **Onagers & Bombard Cannons**. The shielding ability does NOT reduce splash damage from Siege. A few Onager shots can wipe out your wagon ball.
