Wot, no hussites? - By: Graham R. Hill, 16 Jul 2008 
The book contains a number of interesting lists including some that were new to me (e.g. various Iberian & Scandinavian territories). I also liked the concept of having both 'starter armies' & detailed lists. I was disappointed that this wasn't donein every case, especially not for the WotR. I was also rather dismayed to find that there was no reference at all to the Hussites. Some mistake, surely?
It's not bad - By: J. lee, 16 Apr 2008 
I bought this initially out of curiosity, just to see how detailed it was, & I was impressed. Doesn't quite fit with my own research though, but they have to generalise to create armies of roughly equal weight & strength etc so that you can have a fair fight.
I personally leave all my knights & men at arms mounted untill it's tactically necessary to dismount them, usually because I'm outnumbered. But despite my own quirks these army lists are comprehensive enough. They usually include foreign allies for each army, & without you therefore needing to buy the extra army list books.
The Austrian's & Hungarian's are not listedin this one, it's strictly Western Europe.
If you'd like to read a broad view of ancient & medieval warefare before deciding which, if any period army list facilitates your preferred style of play, then Neil Thomas's book is a great introduction with the army lists includedin the rule book. He doesn't advocate anachronistic games though, whereas these army lists are designed to work outside their period of history with other booksin the series.
