Note: Previously there was a rule saying that NCUs could no longer activate without claiming a zone an overnight update to the FAQ deleted this. While there will be definite pain points for players who landed on clear favourite units in the 2021 update (looking at you, Redcloaks and Spearwives), the overall thrust of the update should be to give players a lot of opportunity to experiment with new builds, with the freedom to do so thanks to some fairly judicious pruning of the power units and commanders that were dominating the group consciousness at the competitive level. In both respects, things are looking good. There is a clear design thrust here not just to dial in tighter balance (although it does do that) but also to break up a static and calcified meta and force some change – to introduce novelty and new challenges and opportunities into list building. Many more units have been buffed than nerfed, and the nerfs have been focused heavily on models and units that dominated play not just in terms of results but also ubiquity of use. In total, only about five percent of the game has changed, but that’s still a lot. Coming in hot on Monday morning (only a weekend late from the expected Friday 11th Feb landing time), the ASOIAF Miniatures game v2021 SO-1 has landed with a round of buffs, nerfs, small but relevant core rules changes and scenario reworks.
