Sorry if this has been mentioned as I just entered this thread but I seem to remember the Night King walking through fire. Would this not mean "Team Fire" may not be as effective as some may think?

oh i understand the term just fine.

you know how i know you're a sperging autist?

because you're pedantic, repetitive, dull and stupid, even as an adult.

here, let me show you why.

heres a simple strategy to counteract the 3 dragons. break up your force of wights into a large number of small groups and attack across the entire front repeatedly and non stop instead of just one large formation for a single battle. there arent enough dragons, valyrian or dragon glass weapons to be able to have counter weapons everywhere against wights, white walkers or the NK. attack at all times: day, night, morning, evening, nonstop until the enemy is finally worn down into submission. reanimate everyone who dies.

boom, your entire retarded dragon uber alles myth dispelled.

You know how I know you're a sperging autist?

instead of admitting you didn't know what the term meant and moving on, you just owned yourself and your entire argument in an effort to discredit mine.

Here let me show you why:

Assuming you were able to summon the ghost of woolygimp to warn the NK, or IDK maybe you call the night king up yourself on his Cell phone to warn him? Let's say after a few hours of explaining to him what dragons are, what they can do, and how there isn't a goddamn thing he can do to stop them, you are so persuasive you are able to convince him that he should forgo the only advantage he has, the only way they've ever known how to fight, waves of massive overwhelming numbers, and break in to bite sized little bands and spread out.

Ok so lets give you maximum advantage. Let's say there's 99 Walkers. Each of them split up and take a portion of the wights with them. So you've got 99 bands of a walker and about 500 wights each, and they spread out for maximum effectiveness. Congratulations, you've made the undead army simply too annoying for the dragons themselves to deal with. Any band that does run in to a dragon has the same problem, can't fight the dragon, can't defend against the dragon, can't outrun the dragon, nothing to do but just die. Each band is now so small all a dragon has to do is burp in their general direction rather than concentrate firepower down on them, but there's just so many of them spread all over the place and the dragons are honestly too lazy to hunt them all down individually, so the dragons are out.

Now what? Do the bands start hunting down chickens? going to reanimate some cows or something? Maybe the walkers start a real estate business and put their wights to work building condos? They have to move against men, right?

The thing is, your bite sized chunks of zombies are small enough now that they are no longer a threat to men. Unlike the zombie hordes, men aren't going to break in bite sized chunks of equal numbers and fight them 1 for 1. Even if the humans are factioned out to individual lords and kingdoms they are still armies of 2k, 5k, 10k men. And now they are facing bite sized bands. Peasants with torches huddled in strongholds can take care of the wights, and the one knight or lord or whoever with a Valyrian Steel sword can take out the one lone walker. Even if that guy can't fight and dies, there's tons of knights around who can hot potato the Valyrian steel sword until the fucker dies. Unfortunately the walker can't reanimate the fallen in the middle of combat, so your just left with a bunch of dead knights and eventually a dead walker.

Unfortunately for you and your plan, however, in this theoretical war where dany's army has landed and her dragons are here, the humans aren't split up. Everyone still alive in the north (of which there are very few, it's sparsely populated to begin with and they've lost the most people already) has already fled to neck. The mass armies of men are all gathered at the neck. I'll forgive you for not paying attention to the maps of westeros shown in the show, or the multiple times the neck and moat cailin specifically was called out or used to great effect since it's a central choke point, narrow strip of land with a swamp on one side and a mountain on the other. Despite the geographic superiority of this position and it's funnelling effect, nah. Know what, Doesn't really matter. I won't use this point to illustrate how dumb your plan is. lets just say The humans are all be gathered in a flat field with no defenses around them. really doesn't matter for this scenario since you are marching tiny little bands single file at the massive army of humans. You are marching the wights into a paper shredder, fire deals with the wights (Unlike the NK and you calling him on the phone to warn him about the dragons, the humans of this world KNOW already that fire is the best way to fight wights). A few obsidian arrow heads or half dozen knights with valyrian steel easily defeat the lone walkers who march in single file.

Unless, of course your wights are all spread out and building condos, like I said before?

in your convoluted attempt to create a scenario where the dragons aren't as effective, you've managed to create a battle space where the dragons aren't even needed. Congrats.

lol i didnt read the wall o' sperg and skipped straight to the replies.

my instincts have proven correct again
