Compare with German page: [Schlact bei Nekmer] --Michael Noel Jones 09:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Google translation of above page:

"In December 1419 it came in close proximity to Pilsen to first larger combat of the Hussitenkriege. The hussitische army leader was attacked January Žižka during the FE storage of the castle Nekmer north of Pilsen by an imperial relief troop under instruction by Bohuslav of Schwamberg with approx. 2000 men Kavallerie.

Žižka had only approximately 400 men and something artillery. It succeeded to filters of its cars equipped with cannons in combat to teach to the imperial troops heavy losses so that the Hussiten could withdraw itself. Although the FE storage had to be broken off, combat ended with a success of the Hussiten. After the experience of this fight Žižka began to increase the number of its cannons and develop appropriate tactics further (see battle of Sudomer)."

Will have a hack at adding this info anon.
