The current game is still running. It will still take 2,3 months.
After that there'll be a new registration topic.

Hey Diablo

one thing is a little bit unclear to me, concerning the garrisons.

Frequently Asked Rules

The Home Regions
On the board are delineated home regions for each of the nine houses. They are the colored borders surrounding various areas, including that house's starting shield.  During the course of play, that house will recieve a +1 bonus in all combat that takes place in an are within this region. There is no bonus to support coming from one of these regions, so it is never possible to gain this +1 advantage more than once per battle.  The bonus only applies if the actual battle is located within the home region - in other words, the defender's army must be the one located in the bonus area. Because of this, the home region bonus never applies to ships, as fleets cannot be attacked in port, and no sea areas are part of any house's home region. Additionally, these bonuses are not transferrable.  You cannot offer another player the use of your regional bonus, and if two players are fighting in a third player's home region, there would be no effect.

Garrisons
Garrisons are special tokens that provide extra defense to the home area of each House.
Each House starts the game with a Garrison token on its home area. Garrisons are not units, so they do not count toward Supply limits and may never be assigned an order.
If a home area containing a Garrison is attacked, the strength of the Garrison (the value printed on the token) is added to the defender’s initial Combat Strength (see page 17). If there are no units defending a location with a Garrison token, combat still occurs as normal as if the Garrison was a single unit.
If a Garrison is defeated in combat (whether defending by itself or with other friendly units), it is removed from the game, regardless of the number of Sword or Fortification icons on House cards played in the combat.
Players may not assign orders to an area containing only a Garrison. A Garrison’s strength is only used when its area is attacked, not for support or any other purpose. Garrisons are purely defensive forces.
Once a Garrison is removed, it can be rebuildt while mustering for two mustering points. An upgrade of other unit types to a Garrison is not possible. Every player can only possess one single Garrison.


Due to the following points:
a) One player can only have one garrison and
b) A player can rebuild the garrison for two mustering units
someone could think that in a hypotetical situation when Lannister takes over Pyke and GJ takes over Winterfell that GJ (without a garrison now) can muster his own garrison in Winterfell. Would this be possible or are garrisons only allowed in one's capital?

Regards

Good hint.

I added the following sentence.

This Garrison has to be located in his origin capital.

I have added the following to guidelines above. I hope this encourages others to host PBEM games too.

Useful GIMP commands

Moving of units, fortifications, orders, tokens and markers
- Open the toolbox window (Shortcut: CTRL + B)
- Select the "Move"-tool (Shortcut: M)
- Click on the unit/order, which you want to move and keep the mouse pressed to move the item to its new position

Hiding/Showing of used cards (including housecards, westeros cards/markers and wildling cards)
- CTRL + L --> Open the layer window
- Navigate/Scroll the the relevant section (house name, westeros or wildling)
- Click on the "Eye-Symbol" next to the element, which you want to hide
- Click on the empty space, where the "Eye-Symbol" is normally located, if you want to show the item again

Turning of units (used for routed units)
- CTRL + L --> Open the layer window
- Navigate/Scroll to the unit, which you want to turn
- The selected unit is framed by a yellow border
- If you dont know, which is the correct unit in the layer window, test all units until you find the right one
- After selecting the unit, right-click on the unit to open the
pop-up menu
- Navigate to "Layer" --> "Transformation" --> Turn 90 degrees

Housename is attacking Housename from Areaname in Areaname with Placeholder. Calling for support of Housename. Leaving [one]/[no] Power token behind. Housecard sendt to Playername.
I added the following sentence to the combat scheme above. This should remind players about the decision to leave a power token or not.

Updated guidelines concerning wildling cards and messenger raven.

Look in the Wildling Deck:
The player holding the Messenger Raven token may replace an order token or look in the wildling deck at the end of every Assign Orders step of the Planning phase.
When the holder decides to look at the top card of the wildling deck, he has to make that public. The host informs the keeper of the wildling cards to share the top card of the wildling deck with the holder of the messenger raven.
After sharing the information, he may choose to return the card to the top of the Wildling deck, or place the card at the bottom of the Wildling deck. He may share the information found on the card with other players (or even lie),
but may not show parts of the communication with the keeper of the cards. Concluding the keeper of the wildling cards posts to the forum, that he shared the information and which decision the holder of the messenger raven has made (top or bottom of the deck).
