Storm of Swords - Round 3.

On the third round I was challenged by Martin Baratheon, my campaign co-organiser… as his event, Martin had chosen “Plentiful Leadership, which meant, that he could field 2 commanders in his list, gaining two good unit attachments and 12 tactics cards. Only one of them was to be nominated as THE commander, scoring extra points from objectives etc. I was lucky to obtain “Mercenaries” event, which allowed me to field a 10% larger army, that would certainly be needed!

ASOIAF: Mormont She-Bears

 Reinforcements for House Stark

So far this unit is the one I've spent most time painting of all the units 

I've painted for ASOIAF. I really like the models and I'm also enrolling

it to a painting competition organized by our Wargaming Club Nopat & Taktiikka

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

 Game a week tournament

As an alternative for running one day tournaments with 3 games, one of my mates 

at Nopat & Taktiikka Club is organising cup style tournaments. We play one game per week and tournament runs for four weeks.

Finished another unit of Unsullied Pikemen for the tournament:

My two lists for the tournament are as follows:

MOD Faction: Targaryen Commander: Daenerys Targaryen - Mother of Dragons Points: 40 Activations: 7 Combat Units • House Bolton Blackguards (6) Daenerys Targaryen - Mother of Dragons (0) • Drogon (7) • Rhaegal (7) • Viserion (7) • Stormcrow Mercenaries (5) Jaqen H'ghar - Unnamed (1) Non Combat Units • Illyrio Mopatis (4) • Walder Frey (4)

Barristan's Phalanx Faction: Targaryen Commander: Barristan Selmy - Barristan The Bold Points: 40 Activations: 8 Combat Units • Unsullied Pikemen (7) Barristan Selmy - Barristan The Bold (0) • Jorah Mormont - The Wandering Knight (3) • Dothraki Hrakkars (5) • Stormcrow Archers (6) • Unsullied Pikemen (7) Non Combat Units • Illyrio Mopatis (4) • Daenerys Targaryen (4) • Tycho Nestoris (4)

As a tournament house rule or comp Dragons would "only" do D3+2 wounds with their attack. There were also several restrictions to Nightswatch, but none of the participants chose to play them... 

Retreat from Moscow 1812 . second part of our campaign concluded

Boney - get the hell out of Russia!

So Napoleon and his Grande Armee had reached Moscow during the first part of our campaign, and now it was time to retreat... set simple objectives:

• Napoleon (me) would win if he could get 2/3 of his force beyond Berezina river in 5 campaign rounds
• Alexander (Jaakko) would win if Russians could annihilate more than 1/3 of the Grande Armee 

Rules for the retreat phase (adapted Dawns & Departures by Too Fat Lardies)

• We skipped rules for supplying the forces
• Grande Armee groups would suffer shock equal to Round number - (D3+1)
• Russian Groups would suffer shock equal to Round number - (D3)
• +1 would be added to the D3 roll if there was more than 60p. in the column or if the column moved more than one area 
• Russian forces were 4 divisions of 60 points
• Grande Armee was a total of 180 points

French starting moves 

We individually informed Marko, our Umpire, about our scouting and movement plans, he then proceeded to roll the dice for initiative and movement (terrain impacting). He then announced how we succeeded and where forces collided and battles erupted. Muchos Gracias Marko!
