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.
And then charged in to total darkness
Against monsters that turn corpses into monsters
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. 😔
I guess they kinda forgot to give a shit about the show they were producing.

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?
i really want to like total war, but it just isnt for me :(
i do play a lot of tactics and strategy games tho <3
I've really enjoyed Total War: Three Kingdoms. It's one of the best imho
