War -- What is it good for?

And sure, how do you want me to play them?

Like Ironborn.

[Fel]

They aren't Ironborn, they're Northerners.

[Fel]

Now that Eleana had been moved an assassination seems unlikely.

[Fel]

Here's the battle plan I'm working on. 200 ships will be organised into five groups of 40, to raid all along the Westerlands coast in attempt to spread their forces thin. Then we lay a hammer blow to one of their key places, probably not Lannisport as I imagine that will still be highly defended.

[shacklock]

Well it will be, but we still have 310 more ships than them xD

[Fel]

Right, but there's more to taking Lannisport than the naval battle.

True that.
They outnumber us by far in any land-force.

[Fel]

I've sent in a Shadowbinding assassination attempt on Eleana. Hopefully we can kill her off, though that probably won't stop a war between the Islands and the West. But we'll have no more reason to attack, so we can just sit on Pyke with 400 ships and see if they're brave enough.

[Erik]

You can play the captains how you like, Felryn. Just so long as they follow me.

Oh, and in the event that we need to fight for Torrhen's Square, think I could get some reinforcements?

[Fel]

I don't think we'll have much reason to go to war with the North anymore, but unless it's sanctioned by the crown, I want you staying out of any wars we have, Erik. That way, should things turn against the Islands we won't lose Bear Island.

[Erik]

What? What happened?

I swear, I'm hardly online for a little while and everything changes.

[Fel]

Well Lyas Bolton is a wanted man now, if he raises the North the whole kingdom will be against him, so we don't really need to bother. I mean, we still would bother, if it wasn't for the fact that the Lannisters are set on keeping Eleana alive so we'll probably have to go to war with them instead. But the crown seems to be on the Lannisters side in that issue, so should we lose, they might gift Bear Island to the Lannisters (Marten has his eye on it).

So, if it does come to war with the Lannisters, it might be best if you let Horas know you don't support me, that way he can hardly take Bear Island off you.

[Fel]

The Smith has told me the assassination of Eleana has been successful.

[sethgreyjoy]

Yipee!

So what's the plan? Just chill in our foxhole?

[shacklock]

What happened with Moat Callin, by the way?
As Lyas is approaching it now.
