Stronghold is really...

When we saw the Stronghold game reveal, and even more and as we worked through the rules and technical details, I knew that Stronghold mirrored a game I had already encountered. I even suspected that it was something I had read rather than played, and tried to compare it to the game in the Adept series, but that wasn't it. It was only this evening as I read a post in an April Fool's thread that I got it, which is particularly embarrassing as I finally read the last book in the appropriate series DURING BUILD SEASON.

Spoiler for Game:
Stronghold is the Hunger Games - it's billed as alliance versus alliance, but the real enemy is the field (and, by extension, the GDC). CMP is the quarter quell - a perfect opportunity to break the game, not play it!
