    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 mean by that point they had made so many other stupid decisions, I think it was just in character for them to do that.
