15th century mounted burghers and mercenary sargeants.
If I redid these over again, I'd put more than 6 figures on each double-based element (DBE). I have up to 9 men on each DBE of my Byzantine Klibanophoroi, and they look just great.
A file of war wagons.
After being repeatedly beaten by the Hussites in the early 1420s, many German armies came to include war-wagons derived from Hussite models. They are most useful to guard the flanks of bulky and slow formations, such as pike-blocks, from mounted attack.
Two files of wagons, each specialised for defence from the left and right respectively
The models are by Table-Top from their Hussite range. The small size of the draught-ponies means you can actually fit four on a base, plus the wagon, which is impossible for most other maker's kits. The model comes in a 'left-hand file' form only, but only just a little bit of kit-bashing is required to convert them to 'right-hand file' types, as above to the top.
