The tabletop wargame based on George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series features several distinct fighting forces. These groups represent the major houses and organizations vying for power within the world of Westeros and beyond. Each possesses unique strengths, weaknesses, units, and strategic options that reflect their lore and narrative roles within the novels.
The existence of these varied armies is crucial to the gameplay experience. It allows players to recreate iconic battles from the books, devise alternate scenarios, and explore “what if” situations regarding the power dynamics of the setting. This variety also adds replayability and strategic depth, forcing players to learn the intricacies of each force to effectively counter their opponents and achieve victory.
