The Tactical Approach

We got a chance to look at the new Stag Knights for Season 7! In a nutshell, they gave up their old defensive order to no longer be concerned about how many ranks they have, and they now let the player choose what bonus to use when attacking.

Seems that we're generally in a cycle of talking about US Nationals for a Song of Ice and Fire, but here we are again, and we're announcing that the next US Nationals tournament will be held in Kansas City! So grab your armies and prepare for Balon to be standing behind you, because the date will arrive before you know it!

We were given a chance to see the Stag Knights as they've been changed for Season 7! Now you can, too.

ASOIAF US Nations occurred back in October, and we're late to talking about it, but quite a lot happened around that time! The clear conclusion is that Greyjoys just have it way too good. S7, or what appears to be maybe getting referred to as the "2026 Patch" is on the horizon, and it looks like a storm.

US Nationals for the ASOIAF community is coming up in October! It's open to everyone of all talent levels, so if you'd like to travel to Chicago and brush with a major competitive event, get your tickets now! We discuss what we know of the whole thing, which it turns out is a decent amount, but not everything we'd like to know when it starts getting into really nitty and gritty questions.

We have a team of four representing the USA in the Inivitational, a major ASOIAF tournament in Europe. Many were invited, and plenty wanted to go, but due to the high cost of travel and the difficulties of transporting models, the team is only just as big as is legal before being disqualified. Still, the guys are ready, and we talk to them about it here!

So you may not know it from how we grouse about all our units not being powerful enough, but we're excited about season six of ASOAIF! Or at least most of us, and for certain specific things. The Lannisters got it great this time around, and there would be good to say about everything else - if we had wanted to say good things. Kurt and Wes are also back from the Invitational! They didn't return with stunning victories, but they had some great games and saw some lovely sights in foreign lands, including concrete bowties.

We interview Carlo, the current but soon retiring owner of ASOIAF-stats.com - and the man behind "The Invitational", a major gaming tournament in Europe featuring some of the most skilled Song of Ice and Fire tabletop players across the world. What's it all about? Carlo has done quite a few interviews like this, and he's so good at it, he self-admits he could just about interview himself these days.
