Today's mighty conflict saw the golden stag march to victory, once again in the ninth round. This time a swift mastery of the sea and a better line of supply led to a comfortable domination of the East, and whilst mine enemies skirmished in the West, and Treacherous John's chance for early success slipped narrowly from his flowery grasp, Stannis Baratheon beached his ships at King's Landing and siezed the Iron Throne. Kneel! Pay homage to your king!

Then we played again. I forget what happened. I guess Beau won or something.

In other news, Kristina sent me the much higher resolution photos she snapped at the Getty Villa last week. They are now in the gallery, awaiting your perusal.
