Game of Thrones: Battle of Winterfell

In the previous video in our animated series on the Game of Thrones and the World of Ice and Fire, we have covered the battle of Blackwater, which confirmed the dominance of the Lannisters over Westeros. They were able to appoint the Boltons the guardians of the North and that put Ramsay Bolton and Jon Snow of the house Stark on a collision course. The battle of Winterfell decided the fate of the North.

    “Stannis and his troops were ground down by enemy attrition and harassing.” More like bad writing, plot armor, and 20 good men. Book Stannis would never have lost to Ramsey who never saw a real battle a day in his life. In the books there is a Grand Northern Conspiracy by the Northern Houses for a Stark restoration. In the books the Boltons days were numbered with many of the “allies” plan to defect to Stannis as well. Stannis would easily have been a good opponent for Dany to fight at the end instead of Cersei.

    @Justin Pachi You're absolutely correct that Stannis is the rival that Dany needs, as their philosophies on ruling reflect and deflect off each other in so many ways. But the fanatical denial of the reality Stannis finds himself in needs to stop. He will be defeated in the Books, that is abundantly clear to anyone who has been paying attention to this story. Stannis is nothing more than a doomed pretender, and George has kept him in that role. I will remind you he can summon magic Lannister-Tyrell armies to teleport across the country when Stannis needs to be defeated. Or you can remain in denial until you read the words on the page. It's only that the latter will be harder to bear.

    Anyone else think this battle made no sense and was done to raise tension? Hear me out. They sent a giant with no armour or even a weapon into battle? He literally could've just picked up a tree stump and charge alternatively he could've gotten the dropped giant weapons when the battle of the wall occured. Also notice how shit the phalanx is? Because to keep the giant back they had to raise their spears making them vulnerable to an all out charge plus the phalanx wasnt deep enough to prevent the stark soldiers from pulling the spears off the Boltons. Finally who the fuck stacked a wall of bodies one on top of the other whilst the battle occured????

It would've made more sense if Jon had built anti-cavalry stakes and defenses in the front line. It would've been possible because his men already dug trenches on their flanks. Another thing, why didn't Sansa tell Jon about The Knights of The Vale, the most skilled warriors with the best cavalry in all of Westeros?

If GRRM had set this scenario up, Jon would have died 100% - because when GRRM writes, actions have _consequences_ . When GRRM writes, characters don't have plot armour. If they fuck up this badly, they die. Certainly some of the protagonists will ultimately survive and triumph, but they will only survive by *not* getting into situations where they are alone with no protection and being pelted by hundreds of arrows.

    Hell even in the show it's idiotic. The way they show Ramsey's strategy in the show is firmly in the territory of "never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake", and a commander of Stannis' caliber would've easily dealt with the way the Boltons attacked. All it takes is those 3 words: "Withdraw to squares!", and cavalry is all but eliminated as a threat as spearmen can keep them out of the lines while archers pick them off. Maybe if the showrunners actually hired someone who knew the first thing about tactics, they'd not have written it in such a stupid way

Also, my whole point was based around how the show basically ignored the incoming infantry entirely and made no efforts to include them as a factor in either side's battle plans. Lastly, I'd argue Stannis' men are as close to professionals as existed in this time period. They're knights, men-at-arms, and other veteran soldiers who've been following him for his entire tenure in the show, and we know from all available material that he wasn't the sort to just throw together conscripts, but rather training what men he could gather up to a higher standard of discipline in order to compensate for their lower numbers

    When I saw the title, I was secretly hoping for the previous battles of Winterfell. The one, when Theon and the Ironborns took the castle from the Starks by surprise, and the other one, when Ramsay took it from Theon also by deceit and surprise. Also, it seems a bit inconsistent, that in the previous GoT videos, you always went with the book version of the battles and events, which are of course much more complex and realistic than the show, while in this video you chose to cover events that only happened in the show so far.

    He really did.

Like you say though, his only undoing was plot armour + deus ex magic cavalry that RKO'd him out of nowwhere.

    @@DonMadruga72 Name these instances. My bet is that you're talking about a small force moving swiftly over a short period of time. Or an army sometimes might take a path deemed impassible (usually for good reason). I can think of four real world examples of that, which is not the same as depicted here--a relatively open land through which a significant cavalry force is passing for weeks (the distance from the Vale to Winterfell). Likewise it is possible to hide an army's exact position and deceive as it its exact size, but not that it exists, not if it is present for more than (maybe) a few days. Likewise it is possible an army moving as fast as possible might enter an area without properly scouting ahead and encounter an army that way. Which is not the case here. As at Waterloo, both Stark and Bolton armies should have known via scouts the Knights of the Vale were in the North, just as Napoleon and Wellington both knew the Prussians were on their way. Just as the Lannister/Tyrell army should have known there was a large horde of Dothraki (and a dragon) nearby via scouts. A force that large moving (as it must) through a territory for days cannot be successfully hidden even if it didn't have a dragon that needed feeding. The Free Folk were distracted by a full on battle and were not the most professional army so I can just barely believe Stannis' forces could surprise them. The same logic applies to the slave masters besieging Mereen (which however does indicate a grave tactical error on their part). But I cannot think of a single instance in military history wherein one large army could approach another large army over the course of days without both knowing the other was there pretty soon. The nearest example I can think on is Little Big Horn, when Custer leaped to a conclusion that a settlement was smaller and less defended than in fact it was. I think it was in Austerlitz Napoleon did successfully hide a portion of his army during the chaos of battle, but that is not at all the same thing. There was also Midway, wherein a scout plane was delayed taking off, but even so the Japanese fleet soon realized there must be a carrier or two in range. In Operation Market Garden the plan was so hastily put together the staff ignored intelligence involving a panzer group (I forget--it might have been a division) at Arnhem, in part because the Resistance was not trusted. That, again, is something else--a willful refusal to believe intelligence.
