I own this book, and felt compelled to write a quick counter review to the one star review that I found here. YES, there are some editing errors - some text is copied and pasted from one military unit description to another a few times. Nothing critical.

If you're looking for troop numbers and stats from the various Hyborian nations and a mass combat system, this book is for you.
