The Escapist's Greg Tito joins Rob and Troy to talk about <em>A Game of Thrones: Genesis</em> and to tell us about the Escapist's epic <em>Napoleon in Europe</em> match. In the first half of they show they talk about how <em>AGOT's</em> deception and diplomacy mechanics succeed in channeling aspects of Martin's novels, and in the second half they get into the ways that <em>Napoleon in Europe</em> models the cycles of war, peace, and negotiation that marked Napoleonic Europe. Troy then tells Greg that the Escapist should be a wargame site. Then he explains why you should give 3MA money.
