ASOIAF Miniature Game

ASOIAF Miniature Game is a new rank and file wargame that's based on A Song of Ice and Fire. Despite being made by a company with a bad miniature system record but good boardgame record, it still manages to be a rather fun game. Also it is based on the book, so they can choose to not copy stupid shit from the show.

It received a resurgence on /tg/ but noone gives a fuck about it on the general. They were some fan-made factions early on (Greyjoy, Yunkai, Tully) but even those people fucked off.

Game Mechanics

ASOIAF is a rank and file system

Models

All characters are unique and for the most part pretty cool looking. Units are made from 12 dudes, with around 4 variataion in model sculpts + 1 Banner. So you have around some samey looks. Cavalry has 4 sculpts. Models are good and for the most part realistically made. The body are made from PVC, also shitty boardgame plastic but all weapons and fragile is made from normal plastic. So that is okay. Then the Baratheon showed up.

The Factions

Like all game under the sun, you will have different factions and playstyle. While this lead to widely different armament and technology in a unified realm, having all look the same would be stupid as fuck.

As of now there are Stark, Lannister, Night Watch, Free Folk, Neutral, and Baratheon. Greyjoy is the next upcoming faction.

Stark

The simple but honorful citizien of the cold north. These were one of two units introduced in the two-player starter.

As of now they are composed of the Houses Stark, Umber, Reed and Tully. In general you have more cloth and fur wearing units, while the tully side look more similar to knights and shit

What to buy

There are three sizes: 30 for demo, 40 for normal player, 50 if you have to kill an afternoon. A unit cost between 5-10 points, a NCU about 3-5. A normal list will have between 7-8 Units + NCU in a 40 point game.

So to start off, you want the starter box for your factions. This includes 2 identical units, 2 * 1 another unit, 2 NCU, 2 Commander/Attachement, your tactics card, dices and all you need to play (shitty cardboard terrain). So in total you have 4 units and 2 NCU, clocking in at about 30 points.

If you want to go up to 40 points, another box would suffice. A unit box will just have the unit you want + 1 Attachement generally. Heroes Box usually contain 7 characters, which can be Commanders, NCU or Attachement. I recommend buying both, 1 unit box and 1 heroes box of the faction or neutrals.

Neutrals are the big outliner here, they don't have a starter box, the tactics cards are in Neutral heroes 1.
