I loved the battle of Winterfell, where everyone took up defensive positions OUTSIDE THE CASTLE WALLS.
That battle caused a mass-extinction event among the Total War community.
Frontal cavalry charge without any follow up
Siege engines positioned outside the fortifications against a mobile enemy
Projectile forces unsupported outside the fortifications
Melee infantry inside the castle, watching and picking their noses
My wife told me to shut up multiple times during that episode as I was screeching like a monkey. The wrong side won that battle that night.
I was so mad about those catapults. I’m still mad. That battle was just completely unforgivable.
It’s not like they didn’t HAVE consultants on retainer for this series already. Give me a break!
I need to go lie down now.
I guess they kinda forgot to give a shit about the show they were producing.
There there. We will recover, brother. 😔
And then charged in to total darkness
Against monsters that turn corpses into monsters
I mean by that point they had made so many other stupid decisions, I think it was just in character for them to do that.
