The Tactical Approach

ASOIAF US Nationals, 2025

US Nationals for the ASOIAF community is coming up in October! It's open to everyone of all talent levels, so if you'd like to travel to Chicago and brush with a major competitive event, get your tickets now! We discuss what we know of the whole thing, which it turns out is a decent amount, but not everything we'd like to know when it starts getting into really nitty and gritty questions.

Post Invitational Blues and Season 6 Introductions

So you may not know it from how we grouse about all our units not being powerful enough, but we're excited about season six of ASOAIF! Or at least most of us, and for certain specific things. The Lannisters got it great this time around, and there would be good to say about everything else - if we had wanted to say good things. Kurt and Wes are also back from the Invitational! They didn't return with stunning victories, but they had some great games and saw some lovely sights in foreign lands, including concrete bowties.

Team USA to the Invitational

We have a team of four representing the USA in the Inivitational, a major ASOIAF tournament in Europe. Many were invited, and plenty wanted to go, but due to the high cost of travel and the difficulties of transporting models, the team is only just as big as is legal before being disqualified. Still, the guys are ready, and we talk to them about it here!

The Invitational, 2025

We interview Carlo, the current but soon retiring owner of ASOIAF-stats.com - and the man behind "The Invitational", a major gaming tournament in Europe featuring some of the most skilled Song of Ice and Fire tabletop players across the world. What's it all about? Carlo has done quite a few interviews like this, and he's so good at it, he self-admits he could just about interview himself these days.
