Final game against the Baratheons in The Winds of Winter. Mission cards again, so I was confident. I now knew that, for the first time, I could send a unit out up front and it would hold - for a while. So, giants again.
With Stannis and his dudes all alone, I deployed all my heavy hitters in front of them. Full send!
NCU move zone, then Lady Val meant Mag was rocketing ahead. With the Baratheon flank advancing, I held Varamyr back.
In a surprise move, I sent in Wun Wun to tie down the archers, instead of Mag into the Stag Knights. Not like he did anything. Or more precisely, they healed all of it back.
Once influenced by Mance, the Stag Knights started to lose their numbers.
Combat went back and forth, with me lacking the attacks to kill the units, they healing all of it back, then hitting back to no effect.
After several rounds of attacks, Mag managed to dispose of the Stag Knights - with help from the Spear Thrower.
The Baratheons consolidated their units in a corner. I sent in Varamyr to block scoring of a point off an objective. Round 3 ended 4-3.
Varamyr obviously died. I tried cornering the Baratheons. But they just wouldn't die.
Round 4 ended 6-6.
I somehow killed the archers, then went ham on the Queen's Men.
They came back three times, so I was unable to play any of my overrun cards.
This was the closest and longest game I played, ending 8-7 in round 5.
