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 take it you are a Total War player?
