Gameplay & Strategy

This fan-made scenario uses the mechanics of the A Game of Thrones game mode to recreate The Battle of the Bastards. The current Recommended Lists version sees a 50-point House Stark army led by Jon Snow (998th Lord Commander) facing a 51-point House Bolton army led by Ramsay Snow (The Bastard of Bolton).

There are several units you’ll want to avoid at all costs. Keep the Bolton Flayed Men away from a wounded Savage Giant. If the Free Folk Raiders see the Umber Berserkers marching towards them, it may be time to maneuver away and regroup.

Perhaps most vital will be the tactics board, where House Stark will have to do what they can to ensure that Cersei Lannister does not devastate the Free Folk before they can even join the fray.

Use Littlefinger to best counter Cersei by blocking the Crown zone while still giving Rickon Stark a chance to zig-zag for his life.

Future Additions

The Recommended Lists version utilizes one unreleased unit, the Bolton Blackguards. Hopefully in the future there will be a more powerful Neutral ranged unit to add to Ramsay’s army, perhaps from House Bolton or House Frey. We look forward to adding Davos Seaworth in the future as well.
