You jest, surely  ??? Commander of the famous Black Army, fought the Ottomans?  An army with great wargame variety - good infantry, artillery, heavy and light cavalry.

Well, not this bit of the Middle Ages. You seem quite fond of, and quite expert in, the Early Middle Ages  :) And, full disclosure, I know very little about the career of Matthias Corvinus. His is a rare army where we have details of its tactics as well as its troop types, though, which is interesting.
