Quick Battles let you jump straight into the action, controlling a faction lord in a challenging scenario. The command interface is unavailable, and all keyboard controls are disabled other than those that control your character or your party. Saving is also disabled. The Quick Battle scenarios are listed below, along with the troops on each side and the relevant skills and attributes of the characters you control (skills that have no affect on the scenario are omitted). In Warband the Quick Battle feature is replaced by Custom Battle.
