Game 2: Free Folk vs Starks

This game went a lot differently. Instead of the all-out brawl, my opponent played very tactically and technically, and while I tried to match him, I instantly knew I was outclassed. I literally broke my brain playing this game, and I took less photos.

By round 3, we still haven't killed anything. With subtle movements, the Starks made themselves unchargeable where it mattered. Look at that retreat action with the Sworn Shields. Nothing fit in there, even though I'd have loved to send in Mag. Grey Wind was also at an angle, so I couldn't charge it either. The Tully cavalry had everything going for it, and the Stark Sworn Swords left a bit of stakes showing - I was not going to send in the boar to that.

I tried a play at tying down the Cavaliers with Trappers and their Bear, but after the Trappers attacked, the Cavaliers attacked back, again making themselves unchargeable.

All the while the Starks were scoring points and I wasn't.

After a volley by the Bowmen, the Tully Sworn Shields charged in and cleaned up my Thenns. I then sent in Mag to kill Grey Wind. We scored some points on missions, but game time was up.
