ASOIAF: Game with Grant from Yecats MIniatures

 Great to meet and play F2F

If you're into ASOIAF and have an internet connection, you probably know Yecats Miniatures and their YouTube channel. I've visited the channel as a guest a couple of times and as I was on a holiday in UK, we agreed to have a game at his house, near London.

ASOIAF: Custom Tactics Boards

 Tactic's Board as a Diorama

In Song we mainly use 2D terrain (check my 3D terrain here) so to fill the "visuality gap" of the game, I've modelled several "Diorama Tactics Board". Latest one is based on 3D printed Dragonstone board used as the base. Read on to learn how these were made! 

ASOIAF: Finnish Nationals for Song of Ice and Fire - Tabletop Miniatures Game 2023

 Winter War 2023

Nopat & Taktiikka Wargaming Club, Helsinki, organizes the traditional and annual major wargaming event every winter since many, many years. For a couple of years Song has been one of the seven or so different tournaments in the event. This time we agreed with CMON to have the Finnish Nationals status and this boosted our tournament to a new record in players (26, 18 last year) and broiught a flux of players from abroad too! We also received a generous prize support from CMON - THANK YOU!

ASOIAF August Cup: 2nd Battle

FIGHTING BARATHEONS 

- Clash of King(s) and The Queen

In my second battle I faced Baratheons (Renly loyalty) lead by venerable Eldon Estermont.

Old Turdle 3 Faction: Baratheon Commander: Eldon Estermont - Lord of Greenstone Points: 40 Activations: 7 Combat Units • Rose Knights (7) Eldon Estermont - Lord of Greenstone (0) • Champions of The Stag (8) • Baratheon Sentinels (6) Bronn - The Sellsword (1) • Baratheon Wardens (5) Non Combat Units • Margaery Tyrell (4) • Cortnay Penrose (4) • Olenna Tyrell (5) View this list at asoiaf-stats.com/builder/PLAYEReu-west-2:034f34c1-fd3c-477a-b731-aec64b650d4aLISTe99bf7c0-f043-11eb-82f6-b9faa604be72

An obvious choice was to play my Mother of Dragons list against slow moving, heavily armoured Baratheons.

In our cup several comps are in effect, mostly on NW, but as nobody is playing NW, the only one worth noting is the dragons doingD3+2 wounds, instead of D3+3

Painting ASOIAF - first half of 2021

 

Starks & Targaryens in focus

This spring I played in a "Tully faction" in our map based campaign  and hence my painting focus was in adding attachments and some troops to my existing Stark army. Later my Targaryens got their long waited reinforcements and they immediately went to the top of my painting backlog

ASOIAF: Map Based Team Campaign concluded

 House Baratheon reigns!

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.

Map at the start of round 5.
