Loved it as always, but I wonder about Jeff's military analysis. Jeff, are you stealing a base when you assume your scouts would be effective? GRRM seems to be signaling that Stannis has to attack blind. Varys appears to have a good hold on any Baratheon partisans in the city; the Boy's Toys and the artillery can probably keep scout ships from getting too close, and once the scout ships are spotted, I assume Tyrion would send out his clansmen and women to discourage land scouting. So I'm doubtful you'd learn that Tyrion has an absurd amount of wildfire, and I am not sure you'd even learn about the chain boom, but maybe. If you *did* learn about the boom, then my guess is that Stannis would just take the South tower and disconnect it, making the same assumption as Davos that it was intended to deny the Rush to his ships. That said, Jeff is totally right that (a) Florent should shave split his ships to blockade Storms End and King's Landing simultaneously, and (b) Stannis has the troops to attack from multiple fronts and should have.
