No, this is not played when the charge is declared but when the unit is charged which is a notable distinction.

The unit moves into contact, and before they make their Attack with the Charge...

I'm not quite sure comparing them to Flayed Men is fair, as Flayed Men are a neutral unit and cavalry to boot. They're going to pay more for the flexibility of an extra maneuver before their attack....

I haven't found 50 point games to take much more time than 40 point games. Stuff dies quicker, and you're talking (at most) anywhere from ~6-12 additional activations in a game, assuming that by turn...

I think unfortunately since people already have the miniatures that this stat card is final.

That said, I don't see a huge problem with the current Unsullied. Uber units tend to be the...

"What is Dead May Never Die" sounds like a card similar to Jon Snow's, the "pass a morale test to not die" one. It might also be some sort of "must fail 2 saves to take 1 wound", or perhaps the unit...

That might be a once per game NCU ability (or perhaps even a "kill NCU to do" one").

In a similar vein, though, I was thinking it would be interesting if, to represent looting/raiding, either an...

Thinking about this a bit more, here are a few more (totally speculative) ideas for Greyjoys:

Core infantry pretty similar to Bolton Cutthroats (5+ save, 7+ morale, 3+ to hit with a decent attack...

I would have likely pictured them working around some vicious/morale mechanics and elite light infantry. Maybe some "loot token" mechanic sort of like the Dark Eldar's old "power from pain", or else...

I actually think we just have Greyjoys and a couple of neutral releases like maybe the Brotherhood Without Banners left. Martells don't have enough written about them in the books, we won't likely...

From how it looks, a lot of the Stannis-loyal attachments seem to promote just having lots of units of Wardens to survive and tough out enemy attacks while the bulk of your damage comes from your own...

I think that they have to be the same trigger, I can't think of a meaningful distinction between the two. Though the Baratheon player still could play their card it would be a waste to do so.

I actually think since the active player chooses which effects resolve first in the case of ties, the unit retreats and the Baratheons are left standing there assuming the trigger is the same.
...

I'm not so sure that the unit can still use Orders as nothing is explicitly affecting the unit in question, just that Orders in general may not be used for the remainder of the turn. The use of "your...

This is a really tough and nuanced question to answer, oh boy.

This is going to largely be influenced by my perspective as a Stark player predominantly. Generally speaking, each faction wants 2...

I don't think the data from events and tournaments backs the conclusion that Frey is pushing people to high activation lists. I would posit that he doesn't help make elite armies more attractive...

I think that Walder Frey was a hasty fix to "super units" with particularly effective combinations of attachment abilities and/or unit abilities. On paper, I think his ability is interesting and...

Looks like, going left to right - Pyat Pree, Grey Worm, Jorah(?), Xaro Xohan Daxos, Strong Belwas, and Ser Barristen. Thoughts? I'm very excited for the Targaryen infantry game to become a...

Whether or not they're worth 9 anymore, they're certainly worth 7 and saying otherwise is a bit of a bad faith criticism of the nerf. Dothraki screamers are 6, and over Dothraki screamers you get:

I think the neutral faction is having a bit of an identity crisis right now. When it was just the Westeros-based factions, the Boltons being the only Neutrals felt fine (even if Flayed Men in...

I'm not entirely sure Neutrals were ever intended to be a stand-alone faction, I think that they were made a playable faction to quiet the inevitable requests from players whenever...

I think OG Flayed Men in the context of an all-Bolton army would be appropriate (sort of). I think no matter what they should not have a 2+ save, but even in the edition before these latest revealed...

Giants are best avoided unless you can kill them in one (maybe 2) activations. Best advice is to retreat from them whenever possible and avoid doing damage that won't kill them before they get to...

It still refers to "that attack", not "that unit" so I believe the Vets will still be able to trigger their order and charge as they haven't lost all abilities, only the attack has.

I think because it is phrased as "the attack loses all abilities", and Vets trigger their order after a ranged attack Martial Superiority would not stop them from charging.

I think they didn't want to add another 3-4 cavalry models to the box for the same price/have to increase the price considerably over the other starter boxes. It's unfortunate, but honestly I just...

I hadn't considered his synergies with Flayed Men, that's a good point and since Flayed Men are still cav they go well with the rest of the tactics cards as well.

As for Jorah's specific cards,...

I'll be curious to see what "strong defensive save" means in the context of that text blurb because I don't exactly recall if Flayed Men received the debuff to armor because there was a balance issue...

I'm really holding out for being a R'hllor unit being really advantageous for Stannis-oriented units, but as it stands a lot of the effects deal wounds to not much advantage. Looking at Devon, for...

Alester has some very nice syngery with Walder Frey, allowing you to essentially always claim the crown if you need it to get the most mileage out of Walder. Otherwise, not really sure what his point...

In general I think Neutrals should only be allowed to be taken by select factions - so if you wanted Boltons to be "neutral" in that they could be taken by Starks and Lannisters (representing their...

With dragons I'm betting there will be 3 baby dragons on a base as an NCU representing the vague sort of political clout having 3 dragons gives Dany. On the field, I'm expecting (at most) adolescent...

I hadn't really considered Bronn, and considering Haystack's synergy with the money bags it isn't such a bad idea to put him in the unit. But, to answer your points:

1) It's never really been an...

Title basically says it all. I look at Jorah and both his commander and solo variants appear to be outshined by his attachment variant. Do you think he will ever replace Khal Drogo for a cavalry...

Honestly with how the Nights Watch and Free Folk are described to have fought, I would have preferred those 2 factions to serve as the basis for an ASOIAF skirmish game and not in a regiment combat...

I've had success throwing Brienne into a unit of Sentinels for the +2 morale and ability to fling themselves with 10 dice hitting on 2s with Sundering (situationally anyways). They're a great unit to...
