Yeah I had the pleasure of playing the mountain that rides into a renly list, let me just say its incredible how dominating. Its not only extremely combo but if your opponent makes the mistake of even being slightly close to another, you just utterly get taken down. In one activation of an NCU, I took down 3 of my opponents unit in one go, granted I weakened them up so it was expected but Its really hard to fight something that can throw out two automatic wounds and then just through 10 dice while hitting on 3+ with precision and sundering, then barrel into another unit. Its EXTREMELY strong right now and I didn't even consider taking the City Watch with Gregor and giving Sandor the Golden Company Swordsman but I just might now.
Thanks for the video, it is always interesting to see how Masarath plays his cards and units. I am curious about the clock result. Even if Masarath is regularly forgeting it, he plays much faster than his opponent. I hope CMON will soon do something about the stupid Gregor/Aero/... + City Watch/GCS association. Maybe shall we have to wait for all the boxes to be sold ...
Yeah hope these videos teach the community and helps CMON also improve this awesome game even further! The clock was truely irrelevant for all games during the invitational. Most games ended well before the 2 hour mark, most not even exceeding 1:30 ^Thijs
The cat and wolves are insignificant by turn 3 they should be dead. If not that means they arent being used. Mag should be thrown in as well, to an extent. He can likely take down a unit with him. May even take 1 and a half. Most of the game half the freefolk army wasnt being used. I recommend always using cat on the flank. The little animals then come back with cards. Very cheap units that cause your opponent to loose activation, since they have to fight them off a round.
Jeroen: Well good to know that thanks :). Maybe in the future you will some FF invading the channel once more and then I will give the feedback as advice towards the FF player :D.
It isn't quite that simple. While yes - the animals don't give up VPs, throwing them into combat in this scenario just gets them killed, and the activation advantage that the list wants goes to waste. As for half the army not being used - a small part of that was mistake in play, but really, the threat if something being able to be used well is sometimes bigger than if it is. While I agree, you want Mag to be stuck in, Mag is also the main outlet for this list to out out its damage aginst a Lanniater force. By having him heavily involved in the early part of the game where the Lanniater player has the best resources to deap with him, you can easily lose your most powerful outlet and fail to have any payoff for ysing your activation advantage. I admit that I didn't play thia game as well as I could probably have done - you do have a few points as to what might need to be done - but I stand by the core decision making that I took in the early game. If anything, I drew my force out too centrally and shouod have played wider with the Infantry, but I did get a little ambitious thinking I would be happy with Sophie's engagement angle, and as you can see that risk paid no dividends at all and it quickly went down here. Certainly not my finest moment at all, but hey - you don't play at the top of your game every game!
Hola!.. me encanta esta partida, es muy tactica, me sorprende como juegan... pregunta: Porque Sr Gregor lanza 10 dados??.. ahi me perdi... gracias por el contenido.. me encanta este sitio.. saludos desde Chile
Pero sigo sin entender, lo que sucede en ese ataque del minuto47:26.. los ataques son automaticos (10D6) y porque el defiende solo 4?... por favor que alguien me lo explique :(
Jeroen: Hi there, Happy to hear you enjoyed the content. Gregor rolled 10 dice here due to the old Adaptive style. During this period, when you chose to active him, you could grab 3 extra dice to your dice pool.
Jeroen: Alright, I am going to try. So Sophie plays Price of Failure during that attack which means she auto hits, however she still rolls 10 dice to see how much 6 she can roll. She did this because they also had the precision ability. So in quick perspective the units hits 10 times but, you are still allowed to roll the dice and to see if you can maybe perform some precision hits in those 10 hits. Hope this make sense :).
Nice to see Gregor living the dream - Assault Orders/PoF to kill one unit, then Overrun into another. Fantastic game!
Actually happened to be looking on my screen at work during that part. Incredible maneuver! 🤩
Ouch, girl's power !
❤
Nice! I was expecting this game. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks! Carlo helped pick the first round and semifinal games, so thank him ;) This was a really nice one though! ^Thijs
So cool to see a fellow lady of Lannister! 😍Just split the Stark vs. Lannister box with a co-worker, and can't wait to get my forces painted. 🦁
Jeroen: That’s always great to hear! Happy you enjoyed and well can’t wait to see you Lannister on one of the Facebooks :).

Jeroen: Happy to hear it gave you some new ideas in list building :).
Great game , thanks for recording !
Jeroen: Your welcome ^^.
Varamyr as a commander should cost at least 1 pt or maybe 2. Way too many activitions. Also, the wolves are better than stark wolves lol.
Jeroen: Well it is indeed an heavy list 😄.

ahora me di cuenta.. porque la tarjeta antigua permitia mas 1d6 por cada fila restante..

Can someone please explain why the free folk got that extra movement in the beginning? Coordination tactics? How? Thanks!
Jeroen: Could you maybe give a timestamp? Then we can check for you :).
Just after 11 minutes in. Thanks!
