When you have such a dramatic advantage in both quality of troops and numbers, you don't need to wait behind your walls. I mean shit, Winter is coming, and supplies have to be scarce due to all the constant disruption of the past few years preventing stockpiling, it was absolutely in Ramsay's...

Archers on foot are a hard counter to mounted archers, Crassus lost because he attacked the Parthians with pretty much nothing but heavy infantry.

Oh, I thought you were being sarcastic. It's hard to judge exactly how military technology evolved in Westeros, but horse barding developed quite a bit slower than human armor, it wasn't until Bannockburn and Crecy that it became obvious how much of a vulnerability the relatively unarmored horse...

Cavalry and improved armor technology is why the phalanx fell out of use in the first place. And no, a phalanx wouldn't be as effective as you imagine against a heavy cavalry charge because with all the shields in the way, you aren't presenting nearly as many spears against the incoming charge.

Yeah how convenient that they had a large infantry force trained in a obsolete fighting style that would have been useless against any other armed force in Westeros. I mean seriously, you were nitpicking the wildlings being able to survive north of the wall, but you're down with a phalanx?

It would basically mean that she's been playing him from the moment they were reunited at Castle Black. Every time we've hoped for some kind of clever plot to explain something stupid this season, we've been disappointed. There's nothing clever going on this time, Sansa is still retarded and Jon...

I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I didn't even like the books that much. Or rather, 4 and 5 were so mediocre that it ruined the first three for me. The writing, quite simply, has gone to complete and total shit this season, and I doubt it's a coincidence that it also happens to be the first...

Winterfell is a complete joke. Didn't Theon sack it with like 10 guys? Which raises the question, where the fuck would all those men have been garrisoned if Jon actually did have the supplies for a siege? I think the reason Winterfell is so much less of a fortress than the other castles in...

I assumed the same, and in addition to completely ignoring travel times, the show also completely ignores the logistical issues of keeping a large force of men together for any extended period of time, to say nothing of cavalry.

Because Jon is a threat to her claim to Winterfell. I mean don't get me wrong, it would be really dumb, but would still be better than her keeping quiet about the Vale army for absolutely no reason at all. If this were her plan, she wouldn't have expected Jon to go full retard and get his army...

Yeah I really hope that she was intentionally screwing Jon over by not telling him about the army from the Vale. Would still be dumb, just less dumb.

Meh, I wasn't very happy with the episode. I mean the actual fighting was great, but was the only way to finally redeem Sansa after 5 seasons of utter stupidity was to take all of her stupidity, distill it into a concentrated form, and have Jon freebase it all in a single episode? I mean did he...

How clever, hadn't heard that joke before.

I've tried to get out of a car in neutral a couple times, and I could tell immediately even on level ground, to say nothing of a driveway on a fairly steep incline. I kinda hope he was murdered, because if it wasn't foul play he has to have been high as a kite or one of the dumbest people in the...

I can't even begin to picture how this could have happened, which I suppose is why they're called freak accidents.

Suppose I should have looked in here before I started a new thread. Oh well.

Or you can stop asking for help and make yourself so obnoxious and repellent that people stop offering it. This has been the only thing keeping me alive for years now.

The science is only about 99% accurate and that 1% rustles my jimmies.

I mean, it makes a little bit of fucked up ass sense in a way. She probably made peace with never seeing him again decades ago, and with her limited time left wanted to spend it with her real family. And as far as she's concerned, it's only been what, a couple months at most since he last saw...

Wait what? While it obviously wasn't perfect, I thought the science was remarkably accurate for a Hollywood project dealing with such heavy physics. My only real complaints about the movie are things like the incredibly predictable space madness trope, or how he gets reunited with the daughter...

In other words, you've never played Crusader Kings 2. Not interested in the opinion of an uneducated pleb, thanks though.

also I stand by the possibility that the Westerlings could have been lying to Jaime about Jeyne being preggo. I grant that it's unlikely, but anyone who claims Robb's child would be worthless has clearly never played Crusader Kings 2.

It was just the dumbass show writers wanting to up the shock value by stabbing a pregnant woman in the baby. In the book Jeyne wasn't there because it would have been a grave insult to the Freys to bring her along, even if GRRM probably shot down the possibility of her carrying Robb's child with...

If they were smart they'd give double rewards. Keeping interest in wild instead of just completely abandoning the format would be a good way to keep leeching dust out of the game.

Probably the same people who pay for porn.

How could I forget the good old horseshoe

So Shen's Last Gift tentatively confirmed to be a MEC of some kind, judging from the squire/knight/paladin rank names. No clue what the other ones are for, maybe adding the commander as a playable character or something? I'm also guessing RaysMask refers to a new piece of unique wargear.

Man people like you make me sometimes think SJWs are right.

Well that's good, I hadn't actually seen a single update since his collapse. I guess 'Meat Loaf stable' doesn't generate as many clicks as 'Meat Loaf collapses' does.

I don't think any post in the thread will top this one.

She knows Varys sent assassins after her, it's one of the things she talked with Tyrion about when he finally got to Meereen. I grant that it's possible he's trying to play it safe, not knowing how forgiving she might be. As for Varys going to Dorne, god I hope not. The single best thing the...

It still has the potential to complicate things for her. Depending on how things unfold with him, she could potentially have to either marry Aegon or kick his ass.

I think the thing that pisses me off the most on ladder is vomit shaman. By which I mean people just randomly vomit shaman cards into a list and call it a deck. And then win because they play something completely fucking retarded that would only be good in that specific narrow situation they are...

I'm guessing 2/3rds of the posters in this thread don't believe you've ever read the books, sure is a lot of memetards.
