i usually complain to the wife when horrible tactics are used in medieval battles.
like... why is everyone always doing a full frontal assault, have the wrong weapons, not use fire appropriately, never flank, use cavalry inappropriately.....
miltary tactics in movies is usually abhorrent.
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.
Terrible line discipline too, they broke formation immediately.
Did they at least have chicken?
I take it you are a Total War player?
