Well, looks like the poll closed. The winner is "Dreams of Glory and Piety: A Hussite TL" (seriously guys, you wanted that one? That, along with Bohemia Unbound, is the most boring choice on the list).

I'm conflicted, though. I really don't like that choice, and don't feel like using it, yet I don't want to let down the folks who bothered to vote for it. As I've said, the "Heart of Europe, Heart of Heresy" and "Drink From the Chalice of War" choices are my favorites, yet I feel like a scumbag for wanting to subvert the will of the voters.

Anybody have a good idea for a compromise?

Bohemian Rhapsody. You're welcome.

"Ye Who Are Warriors of God" could work, or maybe "Ye Warriors of God" for short. The last line of the song in particular, "Savor the weapon in your hands and shout" has potential, though it is a bit cumbersome.

"The Beautiful Ride" might not be grim enough for you ;).

"For God is my witness" -- taken from a Jan Hus quote

"For Truth Will Make You Free" / "Truth Prevails" / "Truth Conquers" -- more Hus quotes



 
Again, I can't decide on the title, so I'd like you guys to decide. If you don't like any of the titles, please state what you would prefer.

Ah, too bad I came so late, I can't vote anymore. :( I liked the fourth title, but TBH, I'm not much of a TL-namer myself (the working title of my current one is called The Fox and the Lillies - nothing special, eh ?).

These could work. :cool: Stereotypically Hussite, but the TL is primarily about Hussites, so...

It is your timeline. All you did was ask for our help - if you decide after more consideration (than was the case prior to the poll) some of the options really don't appeal, that's your call.

I'd second Wolfpaw's suggestions if you're using something not on the poll, though.

Maybe Bloody Bohemia if you don't feel like anything exciting.

You're right; I'll go with what I want to have as the title, but I will use most of the suggestions given, especially Wolfpaw's suggestions.

Now I have another problem; how will I introduce the TL, and build up to the PoD? I'm pretty sure that many of even AH.com members are unfamilar with the circumstances of the Hussite Wars, so how do I help them learn the specifics before my TL without it being cumbersome? I'm writing the TL right now, but I don't know how to start it without readers getting lost.

I'd suggest a decent sized introductory post - about the amount you'd use to explain say, Mormonism (Later Day Saintism isn't really a good phrase) to someone like me (largely ignorant but with a rough idea what you're referring to).

Then post the "real" TL. If anyone needs more information/clarification, answer along the way.

Maybe post a link or two as "You can learn more here." along with the explanation. Its not a particularly convoluted issue, just a little obscure.
 
How about Fred?

No, seriously, how about Hussite Tanks?

I'm also looking forward to this; I've loved the Hussites since seeing a link to the Hussite Wars a season ago.
