Winter Reserves and Attachments?

By Moogle343, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Clarification on Winter Reserves (http://agot.dbler.com/index.php?view=card&arsenalid=20447)

Does the Army trait by definition mean that this card cannot have attachments? I don't know of any armies that can (except for Siege, etc.), but this was played by an opponent in a recent 4 player game, who then proceeded to add on 4 direwolves over the course of several turns, including Nymeria (http://agot.dbler.com/index.php?view=card&arsenalid=20014), and this improvised army because semi-immortal. Reading the cards literally, there is no preclusion from attaching, but the Army trait would seem to do so.

That said, considering that the 4 direwolf attachments are all "Stark character only," and Winter Reserves has no House affiliation, how was he able to but those 4 particular attachments on the Army?

Maybe it was Winterfell Reserves

Thank you for the clarification. It was "Winter Reserves" and not "Winterfell Reserves", and all 3 other players clearly overlooked Stark only restrictions on the direwolves (I was certainly distracted by whether or not attachments could be made period, and didn't bother to check card text carefully, as I've never played a Direwolf deck myself).

More evidence that card text is always pre-eminent and to read every card the opponent plays! Much appreciated.
