ASOAIF: first go with House Martell

 Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

ASOAIF community is buzzing about the approaching release (hopefully during Q4 this year) of this new faction for our favorite game! Last weekend in Gencon (US) the starter set and minis were shown to the public for the first time.

What a dramatic end to our third map based ASOIAF campaign!

My team House Tully (aka Starks) were leading the campaign, after my victory over Free Folk and capturing Highgarden from them, with a nice margin after four rounds. Campaign didn't end there, but continued to round five.
