I really like the basic idea but...no examples, no ready-made factions/characters, no scenario. Any questions of depth get referred to some other core book. In sum, I can't see how to use this book to start anything. It's just not a quickstart. I want to like it, but after several read-throughs, I simply can't use it.

I mainly bought this to supplement my rules for random war results, and it was useful for that application. I would like to try to play it as a system in itself, but I will have to make rules for acquiring soldiers before that can happen.

A friend of mine and I were discussing a campaign idea using large scale armies days before this popped up on DriveThru, so when I saw what it was I figured it was probably along the lines of what I was looking for. It looks like it will make for a great system for full army warfare.

An excellent introduction to mass combat battles. Clear, understandable, and usable, even to someone who hasn't done much miniature wargaming, like me. Its baseline uses the Adventurer Conqueror King system, but it can be used by almost any OSR or d20 system that wants to incorporate mass combat into their campaigns. The starter edition makes me look forward to the full Domains at War product, which is due to be released sometime later this year.
