The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Do orders need to be placed on the Leader or in the same area? The rules in the OP and the book seem to say differently.
A Storm of Swords Pg. 7, "When an order matching the trigger icon on a Leader is placed in the same area as that Leader during the planning phase, it is considered a trigger order."
Opening Post Rules, "NOTE that leaders may only be activated by orders specifically placed ON them during the planning phase. "
If the order needs to be placed on your leader, can I move the Raid at Pyke?
I'll use the Raven to switch my defense +2 in Golden Sound to a Raid
+2 power from Careful Planning
Tyrell took manage troops so they can do that "immediate" power.
In order to be a trigger order it must be placed in the area with the leader. Trigger orders on the map right now : Raid on Pike, Raid on Highgarden, Move on Dragonstone, Move on Sunspear, Consolidate power on Lannisport
You also have to leave a unit with the OTO if you dont want to lose it.
You know, I only found about about that rule today re-reading the ACOK rules. I dont know how I missed it. We've been misplaying that rule for so long.
Should be interesting when I let all the others I play with about it this Saturday
You're lucky. I have found out about this when I left one all alone on Dragonstone during a game. And there's a house rule that I am not allowed take-backs. Ever.

Haha I am the same way at home too... but I usually give a "noob warning" for people who have never played before. They get 1 warning on a rule mishap, then punished for repeating it.
That being said, I am really glad you said that... cause I was gonna move both units off .....

The "I" implies that the rule only applies to me. :P. S'ok I still win most of the times anyway. I think it has to do with... passion.
You are a terribly baffling person. You're going out of your way to be hostile when there's no apparent benefit from your actions. Hopefully I'm not blindsided by something I didn't see later in the round.
Edit: Nevermind, I saw what you were worried about. Thought I might rush Riverrun and leave it well defended by support from the sea?
Discard Raid token at Pyke to activate Balon Grejoy: Gain Power.
Immediately use his march token to move 1 Footman, Balon Grejoy, and Asha Grejoy to Seaguard.

Its just in case you wanted to take and hold riverrun. You could have supported it and I couldnt have done anything.
There was, after all, no other possible use for the support.
I sort of intend to take Riverrun, obviously. As Lannister is wont to do.

I didn't realize the implication when I put it down. It was more of a "good god, I hope Stark can't somehow mobilize his forces all the way down here in one turn somehow". Despite some prodding from Baratheon, I really don't want to start a war so close to home when Stark is way up north all by himself.
Edit: "Damn, Lannister is being kind of annoying. Hmm, looks like Riverrun is adjacent to the Ironman Sea, wonder if I should just take it. It's too bad I can't support from the sea anymore-oh!"
Dunno if this move is legal, I could have sworn I read that you could move leaders without activating them. March Knight and Rob stark From Winterfell to Moat Calin
If it ain't legal, I just move the knight.
Note: where did this thread come from? I completely missed all the discussion/planning for this one. I'll be watching with interest (played AGoT for the first time last weekend with Darkewolfe and iamtheaznman).

If the order needs to be placed on your leader, can I move the Raid at Pyke?
Careful Planning -> +2 Power
Careful Planning -> +2 Power
Control Westeros->Passive benefits:+ on sieges, +1 to all bids until next order phase.
By the way, can I move Leaders along with an army while they are not activated?
+2 power from Careful Planning

No you can't. You have to leave a unit.

In order Lannister, Greyjoy, then Tyrell.
We could do them now as I dont think it will affect Martell's decision, but I was waiting so that we get a better feel of the turn order.

I didn't realize you had to leave a unit either.

March Loras and the knight to The Reach
In turn order.
2 from Careful Planning then 1 from my leader activation.
Baratheon to execute ONE of his march orders
Leave a power token behind to retain control of Kingswood
Did I do that right?
March Footman in Stoney Sept to Harrenhall
Leave power token in Stoney Sept
March Knight and Rob stark From Winterfell to Moat Calin
If it ain't legal, I just move the knight.
Leaders are units and can move just like other units
Do you want to leave a power token in Salt Shore ?
oops, yes, I forgot that, thank you
