Actually, Greyjoy, (with a march still available) is after Baratheon, not Tyrell.
Tyrell's march will stand but Baratheon will march afterward.
As an aside, has anyone ever played this using the tides of battle cards? What was your experience?
We usually play with them. Considering most of the tides cards are just +1, more often than not they don't affect the actual battle outcome. However, their effect is to force the attackers to have a reserve of strength. Fiefdom track becomes less important, because the tie-break situations cannot be planned for perfectly, as you can without the tides cards. The overall effect is to slow the game down by 2-3 turns, because fiefdom tie-breaks cannot be relied upon. Cross-faction support play becomes a LOT more important - which is the main reason we play with them. We've yet to have a situation where a tides card turned something around - it's bound to happen, but yet to.
All in all, they're a personal preference. We prefer the 'plan to react to events' type play, which is why TI3 is the shit. But I've met a looooooot more people who prefer perfect certainty and would not play with the tides cards.
It was indeed Loras! It was tempting to use my 2 with the swords to finish off your footman, but I had a feeling you'd expect that and use Stannis, I can use Loras to march to Oldtown like I originally wanted, and Loras avoids being the last leader used and left out of the reshuffle.
Tyrell 6, Baratheon 5
Tyrell wins.
Baratheon to retreat
March order moved to Dornish Marches
Edit: Oh, I meant to leave power token behind at Three Towers. Is it cool if I still do that? Decision was independent of battle outcome, plus it was a 100% certainty to win with Loras anyway.
Departing King Lannister, please break the tie of the two vying for your throne and order the Houses.
All, PM me your bids for Fiefdom positioning and the race for The Valyrian Steel Blade.
This started when Tyrell sent a couple of contractors to the abandoned Starfall castle for some renovations. The restoration team was attacked by Martel soldiers!

Back to the reach. Also, since no more moves left, I'll use my special consolidate to Muster a Siege Engine in Dragonstone.
@JPants to use Stark special consolidate.
