A Song of Ice & Fire: Tactics shows Fire and Blood in new Gamefound update
In brief
- CMON has shared a new official Gamefound update for A Song of Ice & Fire: Tactics, putting Fire and Blood and the Dance of the Dragons in focus.
- The update puts Fire and Blood front and center, the skirmish side of the Dance of the Dragons.
- The Battle of the Trident Starter Set remains tied to Robert’s Rebellion and includes names such as Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark, and Rhaegar Targaryen.
What happened
CMON has published a new update for A Song of Ice & Fire: Tactics, the tabletop skirmish game set in the world of Game of Thrones. Based on the available information, the project was first announced in late 2023 and appeared on Gamefound in February 2024. That means the campaign is still in the phase where CMON is showing off new components and themed sets for the game.
The update focuses mainly on Fire and Blood. That part shifts the action from Robert’s Rebellion to the Dance of the Dragons, where the Greens and Blacks fight over the Iron Throne. The reporting names Rhaenyra Targaryen, Daemon Targaryen, and Alicent Hightower as key figures in that set. The source also refers to Fire and Blood as the King’s Landing Skirmish Set, though it is unclear whether that is an official CMON name change or simply a shorthand used in coverage.
Meanwhile, the Battle of the Trident Starter Set remains the entry point for the Robert’s Rebellion era. According to the source, that set includes Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark, and Rhaegar Targaryen. Compared with the larger A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game, Tactics is built around smaller warbands, individual characters, and scenario-driven objectives. The source does not provide a full contents list for the new Fire and Blood set, so it is not yet clear exactly which miniatures or gameplay elements will be included.

Background
The available information places A Song of Ice & Fire: Tactics alongside A Song of Ice & Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game, but on a different scale. Where the miniatures game focuses on larger armies, Tactics is about smaller warbands and scenarios with individual characters. That makes the campaign structure relevant, since CMON is using each set to highlight a specific period in Westeros history.
The source describes Fire and Blood as a skirmish set that shifts the focus to the Dance of the Dragons. That is a different historical period from the Robert’s Rebellion setting of the Battle of the Trident Starter Set. In the available text, three names are explicitly mentioned for the new set: Rhaenyra Targaryen, Daemon Targaryen, and Alicent Hightower. The starter set also names three figures: Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark, and Rhaegar Targaryen.
The source does not provide a full contents list for the Fire and Blood set, nor does it give an exact release date for the update itself. So the only confirmed takeaway is that CMON has shared new information via Gamefound, and the campaign continues to build around multiple timelines from the world of Game of Thrones. The available information does confirm the two fixed milestones tied to the project: late 2023 and February 2024.
