JimG hosted this month. We had a great turnout this month with 10 participants. It was hard core this month. About half the crew arrived before JimG was back with the pizza!

Brutal game tonight. The game went the full 10 rounds and didn't finish until 1am. JimG was victorious with 6 cities and strongholds followed by BobN with 5. We added the optional rules for the ports in this play. The ports attempt to balance the overwhelming power ships can have in the game. With ports, even if the adjacent sea is controlled by an opponent, you can place ships in your port and use them to regain the adjacent sea. In previous games, if an opponent took over the sea areas next to your cities and strongholds, you could no longer place ships during a muster and would be landlocked.
JeffL was in a fighting mood, attacking anyone who was close by...which turned out to be Troy (playing Lannister - red) and Bob (playing Baratheon - yellow) so this really slowed the game down. In fact, a couple of battles between Jeff and Bob took nearly 1.5 hrs to complete. Jeff suspects this aggressive style of play may come back to haunt him in a future GNN or GTF.
