Quote:That's beside the point. They needed to set the trench on fire and it looked like they would have completely failed, if the Red Woman hadn't shown up, out of the blue. Bad planning.Actually it's not .It's actually the point
Quote:Jon, Daenerys and their dragons were supposed to stop him. They were waiting for the Nightking to show up, that's why they were not on the battlefield at the start of the battle.Supposed doesn't mean succeeded
Quote:Really? Then why were they lighting their arrows on fire? Seems like a waste of time, since dragon-glass arrow should kill the undead without it. And what do you mean - not everyone had access to dragon-glass? Didn't they go to Dragonstone specifically for that?Yup they used some fire arrows but that goes to my later point .Consider it's not an easy material to forge with and they limited supply not everyone got a dragon glass weapon . In fact in believe they mention this is episode 2.
Quote:Also - since the Dothraki didn't have dragon-glass swords - what were they supposed to accomplish, if Melissandre didn't happen to show up unannounced, literally minutes before the charge, with her - not very useful - fire-sword magic?Even if you can't kill a wight you can still dismember one and then can still be trampled under horse .
Quote:What does that matter? Either arrows work against the dead, or not. And clearly fire arrows seem to do the job. So why not shoot at them, while they're standing behind the burning trench?It matters because theirs a difference between sniping with a bow and valley tactics which are far less effective against such a large hoarde .
Quote:Supposed doesn't mean succeeded
Again - the Nightking and his dragon were supposed to be busy fighting against Daenerys and Jon on dragons
Quote:Homeless Nutter described a far better use of the Dothraki than charging them across a field to their immediate deaths.I read I don't it would work or the Dothraki could or would do it
Quote:Exactly why the Dothraki should have been given dragon glass weapons: they're experienced fighters and were being used as the first wave of attack. If they were going to send the Dothraki across a field to plow into the army of the dead they should have been given dragon glass weapons and their horses should have been outfitted with, like, spiked armor plate on their chests so whey they went plowing into the dead front lines the horses themselves would have been taking down enemies. They should have been outfitted in the gnarliest dragon glass kit the living could muster, not only to make the first wave of attack the most effective it could be, but also give some of the most experienced fighters the best chance of living and fighting on.Should a could are two different things and you assume the Dothraki needed them
The Dothraki should have the best of the dragon glass weapons, the Unsullied should have the best of the dragon glass weapons, the military "officers" and most experienced, battle-tried of the infantry should have had dragon glass weapons, and, it's shitty to say, but the everyday folk, the farmers, shopkeepers, and people with little to no experience in a battle should have gotten the hand weapons, the off-cuts, the shards, the chips...
With limited resources like with the dragon glass you want that shit in the hands of the people who can put it to the best use.

Quote:Homeless Nutter described a far better use of the Dothraki than charging them across a field to their immediate deaths.Not the way they fight. They don't flank , They use hit and run , They charge in suicidal attacks until they or whatever their fighting is dead . They don't wear armor because they don't care if they die , And centuries it worked . They probably believed it could still work as it did a number on the Lannisters . But this time it didn't work .
