Wars mentioned in the Book of Mormon
In the Book of Mormon, many wars are listed. The implications of tribal warfare are there from the beginning until about the time of the "Words of Mormon" where a transition to large armies appears to take place.
Practices
The Nephites had no compunction about using stratagem if it meant sparing bloodshed. The Lamanites seemed to be a group of kingdoms with a high king in command. There is an implication that each kingdom had its own army and there was a form of plundering among the kingdoms. The mentioning of scaling is notable. And the practice of throwing the enemies' dead into the river is mentioned. Numbers are rarely given.
