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.

There there. We will recover, brother. 😔
