The Hussites also used other types of wagons to support their
standard battle tabor. These included a 'ballast'
wagon filled with large stones. These were used to strengthen and add
mass to tabors defensive laagers. They were
used in the corners and at 'gates' in the laager. These wagons
further prevented enemy troops tipping over
individual tabors. At Malesov in 1424 Zizka deployed on high ground
and rolled these ballast wagons down the
slopes punching a hole in the enemy centre. Some sources describe
these wagons at Malesov as supply wagons
however given that that Zizka was being closely pursued by the
Praguer army it seems unlikely that there was
sufficent time to prepare them. and as ballast wagons were in use by
the Hussites at this time they seem the more
likely.

The price of freedom is infernal vigilantes

Mr RHEA, of Tennessee, said...he believed it a correct principle that
all the militia should be armed under a Republican government. One
of the objects of such a Government was, that the people should have
arms in their hands; and those who legislate for them should take
every possible means to effect that object. For the want of arms
being in the hands of the people of the nations of Europe, their
liberty was lost. (Dec 1807)
