Who will need this?
As most of the book became obsolate with the 2nd edition Rulebook, getting the new one is a better choice to start playing Kings of War.
However, the expanded rules section has not been reprinted for the 2nd edition yet, so if you are really interested in it, you might get the 1st edition. There are two kinds of campaign rules published for 2nd edition, but as I don't have access to the 1st edition rulebook, I don't know whether they are updated versions of the rules printed here, or entirely new ones.
