Wow. I highly respect your reading choices. I'm really more into fiction, so I could never read any of those, but I have a friend who does. From what he's told me, and from my understanding in general, those books are more about large-scale combat rather than combat between a few people. I'd never give Xanadu an army, but I personally think she'd do fine with three other people. Remember that my knowledge of these kind of things may be skewed, but I'd think that the principles of the two sizes of combat would be fairly different. Large-scale combat takes planning. You tell your forces where to go, they go, and they do whatever it is you had told them to do. Small-scale combat takes improvisational skills and impulsivity. Take me for example. In tabletop roleplaying games having to do with small parties, I'm a pretty good leader. However when we get into armies, I suck.
