Always entertaining

Very good, this guy thinks along the same lines I do we challenge and change rules to a greater or lesser extent to fit what we want to do. Have enjoyed games of both Lion and Dragon rampant but not sure I would use for a big pitched battle there are probably better for that.

We use our version of big battle Lion and Dragon rampant for club games. The rules are sort of well know, and whilst, as you say, there are doubtless better rules, the vast majority of the club don't know them.
In simple terms the big battle rules allow players who aren't habitual ancient or medieval player to take a meaningful part in a big game on a club night and have fun 

That, for us, with our version, is their niche

That sound great, just the thing for a club situation, I am sure.

Fun trumps anything else in the long run
