I heartily agree. A big turn-off for me (and the reason I voted against the
BFF in the Legends vote) for any castle set is the inclusion of too many
panel walls. I almost never use them. They make for less flexible building
styles, and IMO they look less like a real castle than a bunch of blocks.
That said, I did get the Western set Fort Legoredo and loved it despite the
inclusion of a whole bunch of those log-wall panels. So I'm not a complete
purist on this. (Though I would have much preferred a huge pile of 1x4
brown log bricks.)

Agreed. But it does seem fairly easy to get set 4806, Axe Cart.

I got a bunch of those on sale and they each have two axes, two crossbows, a
spear, and a shield.
I have, though, bought most of my castle figs on e-bay or bricklink.
