Only have one of the battles but liked the system when I played. This is a clever evolution over the 3W Markham quads that gives even more individual character to the leaders. Unfortunately, like many of the DTP Markhams, the rules are even less clear in places than the 3W games, which has deducted at least a point. But all the quads, which remain the best overall medieval series, could have been made even more interesting by upgrading them to this level.
