Game of thrones

Hey, I'm hosting Game of Thrones at my place on the first of November if anyone is interested.
Depending on players it will be the base game or with the mother of dragons expansion.
Game of Thrones is an area control game. The goal for most players is to capture 7 different castles.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERIES
I will explain in more detail before we play, so here's the basics.
Each turn takes place over three phases: the board phase, the planning phase, and action phase.
During the board phase 4 cards from the top of the board are revealed that change the board and your armies.
During planning we issue orders to our armies in secret. Every army you control gets an order.
And during the action phase we execute our orders in turn.
There are 5 orders you can issue, raid, support, march, defence, and consolidate power.
Raid removes an order in an adjacent area, except defence. Support lends this army's strength to a neighbouring army. March allows you to move all or part of your army. Defence strengths you against attack. Candidate gives you more influence tokens, I'll explain those on the day.
