Had a very large shipment arrive on Friday!
VERY large shipment. On Saturday, another large shipment (about the size of the box on the bottom) arrived, with a terrain pack (I'll do a picture of that later). Seems my Kickstarter reward for A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game has finally arrived!
This is pretty exciting for all of the backers of the game, and with the retail release coming next month, it's looking to be a pretty exciting time for fans of the series.
I figured I'd do some posts about the contents of the game and various expansions, in case anyone is interested. So, let's start with the Starter Set!
Good looking box, with a lot of depth (as you can see in the first photo. Opening up, we are presented with this:
That is a rulebook, which looks very interesting...
A bunch of tokens and terrain (which will be largely replaced by the terrain set that I'll show in a later post).
I believe the item on top of this is the Tactics Board, which is a unique element in this game. Looking under these, we start to see the miniatures included.
Quite a lot in here. We see a pack of cards with Unit Cards (and a terrain card).
There are 9 Combat Cards included in the game. Packed under those were 10 Objective cards.
Also included are a bunch of dice- 10 black dice, and a white d3 die!
There are plenty more cards included in this game, clearly.
Included in this are 4 NCU (Non-Combat Unit) Cards, 14 Attachment Cards, 52 Tactics Cards, 12 Siege Cards, and 20 Secret Mission Cards (according to the rulebook). Looks like there will be a lot of depth to this game!
A whole lot of movement trays- 1 solo tray, 7 infantry, and 1 cavalry.
And of course, the game comes with a BUNCH of miniatures. The quality of the plastic for these is quite nice, and they really do seem to hold quite a lot of detail. Very nicely done!
Let's look at some of the Stark ones first (48 total).

| A Stark Sworn Sword Captain, a Sworn Sword, an Umber Berserker, Greatjon Umber, and Catelyn Stark |
And now we'll take a look at some of the Lannister ones (55 total).

| Assault Veteran, Mountain's Man, Lannister Guardsman, Ser Gregor Clegane, and Tyrion Lannister |
Apparently I got tired of taking pictures? Anyway, there's a lot of great stuff in this box, and it looks like it will be a blast when I finally get into it. I know Dan, locally, got into the Kickstarter as well, so I should have an opponent. I'll make sure to post when I play!
Next time, I'll open up and expansion, and we'll see what's inside!
