The highly anticipated Game of Thrones episode left many viewers questioning the characters’ tactics
Still thinking about Sunday’s big Battle of Winterfell on “Game of Thrones”? We are, too, and we can’t get over the idea that the living could have employed some better tactics out there on the battlefield.
For one thing, the artillery barrage begins as the Dothraki charge, meaning the living could only get off one or two shots before the projectiles from the trebuchets would actually be striking their own forces. Then there’s the issue of the Dothraki, who are “really fast and effective cavalry,” but they’re essentially sent to their slaughter.
“But the problem is they put most of their infantry and cavalry forces in front of that line, and then they build a single choke point in the line that actually works against them.” They break the plan when the Dothraki are snuffed out, a decision that Tumblin says “ironically and tragically was the most militarily effective thing that happens on behalf of the living in this entire episode.”
