[QUOTE="nothing to see here, post: 4300704, member: 16432"] Skill challenges, as written are not intended for use with opposed rolls. So if you're using leadership in war as a plot device than, absolutely, a challenge makes sense. For General vs General -- you might have to modify things using opposed rolls. I can see an enterprising house-rule person coming up with a list of modifiers to a series of opposed checks using Diplomacy (to inspire your troops) History (military tactics) Bluff (to feint) Intimidate (to break enemy morale) With a whole list of modifiers, based on the number, nature of your troops etc etc. Come to think of it -- 4e lends itself (more than 3e did) to dusting off some of those old 1e War Machine mechanics that are beloved to so many of us. I might do some scribbling on this after work today. [/QUOTE]
