New classes such as the Marshal are there for two reasons:a) to provide you with new options in a D&D RPGb) to provide a source for some special abilities in the D&D Miniatures Skirmish game.The rules for Mass Combat using the D&D Miniatures rules are in three chapters - the actual Mass Combat Rules chapter, the Skirmish Rules chapter (which gives some basic concepts) and the Stat Cards chapter (which has guidelines for converting characters/monsters to the simplified DDM format).I'm not entirely happy with the mass combat rules because of the scale - they're 1:1. The actual rules are fairly solid and are basically a simplified regular D&D system with a few additional rules covering* Formations and units* Commanders* Magic and Special Abilities in mass combatCheers!</blockquote>
