Difficult question! I have a soft spot for Book 3, which I know isn't everyone's favourite. I think the armies in it are very balanced because of the limited number of troop types and it has lots of some of my favourite units like Fast Knights. Book 2 has the most army variety and very balanced lists, and competes with Book 3 for my favourite slot. My first army was Book 2 Palmyrenes. Book 1 is very interesting, it's a period I know less about, but the army variety is good in it. Book 4 is actually my least favourite. The first half of the book is a continuation of Book 3 style army lists (lots of fast knights) and then it is dominated by Bow and Knight Superior. This means the book isn't internally balanced, and the existence of Bow(S) and Knight(S) leaves the earlier lists at a significant disadvantage. I think the solution is to split Book 4 into early and late middle ages. (Pre and Post Bow(S))
Nice to see someone promoting my favorite ancients/medieval table top rule set.
Glad to seem more DBMM players about, it's the best ancients/medieval ruleset.

Hi Jack I will share in NZ. May I suggest more pictures of terrain and less head and shoulders?
One correction at 9:40 the two free roads for a BUA are internal to the BUA and do not help with placement.
