Westeros

The wargame, titled Westeros, announced by Testors was to be of the skirmishing type, meaning that each side would have a few units with each miniature represeting a character. Noted game-designer Andy Chambers began the initial design process, although it was later reported that his new employment at Blizzard has led him to pass on his work to Testors for either in-house development or bringing in of another outside developer.

In 2007, it was announced that Testors had allowed the license to lapse without ever publishing or even completing development on the game.
