Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]

[pocaracas]

I think the problem with this 3rd episode is that it's difficult to suspend disbelief to the point of such a waste of armies. So many people planning for it, and then it's all to waste.
Anyone who plays chess knows that it's important to preserve your troops and to always trade yours for at least an equivalent adversary.

Riding into the dark and unknown was stupid and something no one would do, especially against a magical foe. It's unbelievable that that would be the plan.

1. Real war is nothing like chess . Especially if you playing against someone who doesn't play the rules .

No shit?!! But keeping your troops alive is equally, if not more important.

2. As I said it was the only role they could fill

Charging into the darkness?? no.
