"Do you like to play games, little man?"
On one side stands the Bastard of the Dreadfort. On the other the Bastard of Winterfell. The fate of the North will be decided in this all-or-nothing pitched battle.
The Story
"The battle begins with the Stark army deployed near a treeline, to prevent themselves from being taken unaware from behind. Across the field is the much larger Bolton army, who have placed archery distance markers with burning, flayed corpses attached to them, in an effort to demoralize the Stark troops. Ramsay himself trots out on his horse to the front of the formation, bringing along a prisoner: Rickon Stark himself. Ramsay acts at first as if he will slit Rickon's throat, but instead cuts his bonds and delightfully insists that he play a game."
Gameplay & Strategy
The Battle of the Bastards is meant to be epic, so a 50 or 60 point game is recommended. To recreate the giant corpse pile that plays such a pivotal role in the episode, a large corpse pile semi-circle is added to the center of the battlefield at the beginning of Round 4. House Stark and their allies will want to steer clear of the large corpse pile if possible, as it weakens their morale while bolstering the morale of the Boltons.
Here is a great battle report from the team at Le Bar à Théo:
The Knights of the Vale is the second part of the bastard's battle, with House Arryn charging across the battlefield to take out House Bolton. The story ends with The Death of Ramsay Bolton.
This is a fan-made scenario inspired by CMON Limited’s A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game and is in no way associated with CMON.
