minus-squareAmazingAwesomator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up79·2 days agoi 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.
minus-squaredellish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up91·2 days agoI loved the battle of Winterfell, where everyone took up defensive positions OUTSIDE THE CASTLE WALLS.
minus-squarePurpleSkull@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39·2 days agoThat 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.
minus-squareCandleTiger@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·2 days agoI 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.
