Both Robbs bring a bonus to your list, Grey Wind! After all, what’s a Stark without his dire wolf? Grey Wind is 0 point model and can only be included if Robb is in your army. A furry, fast-moving missile, Grey Wind uses his superior maneuverability to attack targets of opportunity in the flanks and rear. He boasts an incredible attack value of 2+, but with the caveat of only rolling two attack dice. If you DO get that flank or rear attack, the enemy becomes vulnerable. Use Grey Wind to set up a 1-2 punch with your armies. But be careful, as although his armor of 3+ means he’s harder than average to hit, he only has two wounds. Bear in mind also that the 1.4 rules changes mean that wolves are now worth a Victory Point for your opponent, so try not to take unnecessary risks

We’ve seen what Robb does as both attachment and commander, but what YOU do with your army is the last piece of the puzzle. Using Robb’s cards and the tactics board you should try to get the Outriders into enemy unit’s flanks and rear. Keep them charging and retreating in a harassment pattern, and avoid prolonged engagement. They don’t hit the hardest but they’re difficult to lock down and may mire down an opponent who gives chase.
While the Sworn Swords take the charges, use your Beserkers as your counterpunch. NO ONE wants an Umber charge so their very existence functions as board control.
Lastly, have the Stark ladies keep you mobile, grant extra attacks, and heal Sworn Swords after they use Stark Fury. Robb never lost in the field, now go do him proud.
