One small difference: not all battlegroups were military.  We  
frequently had "battlegroups" of bureaucrats or nobles on scouting  
duty, each with a senior bureaucrat or scout in charge.  Since they  
were less important, it was easier to become a battlegroup leader and  
make oneself known that way.  These days, marshals are important  
enough that many realms are wary of taking a chance on someone too new.
