Yeah, reminds me of my own country's history which is Sweden. Our king Charles XII had won the majority of battles while being outnumbered. Then the harshest winter within the ice age at that time hit. Then the russians used scorched earth tactics. So Charles decided to lay siege to the city of Poltava in todays Ukraine where unbeknown to him was where Peter the great had gathered the majority of his force where the deciding battle of the war happened. Sweden lost.

But yet they threw it to the trash while the book isnt going to do so.

That makes me think back to when Stannis told Davos "We do not choice our destiny, but we must all do our duty, no? Big or small". In the end, Stannis made his contribution, even if it was not as grand as he had hoped. Aside from helping Sansa to escape, he also provided ships for Jon to rescue thousands of wildlings at Hardhome. And of course he brought Jon and Melisandre together so that she could revive Jon after he died.

Much is said about how much of a legend Stannins is, who burned his daughter to be a King. But little is said of the men who accompanied him, many abandoned their homes and faithfully followed their Lord, saw him do barbarities, and still they followed him, even outnumbered, on the ice, they continued to follow him. Stannins would gain the North if he won, maybe he would be King in the long run, these soldiers would gain very little, maybe nothing but the same position they originally held. Honorable men.

They also didn't want Jon's resurrection to be tainted by a child sacrifice.

Stannis and his army is alive, which includes: 3,500 northmen (Glovers, Mormonts and mountain clans 1,400 southron knights and men-at-arms 400 Umber green boys in the vanguard Total: about 5,300 men 456 Karstark men, disloyal, it is unknown whether or not they will fight for Stannis after Arnolf Karstark's treachery is discovered Roose Bolton had send : 2000 Frey men, including 500 knights 300 Manderly men, apparently 100/200 knights/men-at-arms Total: about 2300 men. Stannis army is sitting beside a frozen lake with a sort of watch tower. He is waiting and eager to lure Roose Boltons Vanguard to charge at his army who are mostly Footmen. During the charge the Manderly's will backstab the frey's and aid Stannis. It will be Stannis First Victory to WInterfell

After taking the character of Stannis Baratheon and literally tossing it into a blender until it became something utterly alien from the character in the past few seasons and especially the books, dumb and dumber still managed to get Stannis the Goddamn Mannis to go out like a boss. Also did the show runners forget that Stannis just spent a good while resting at Castle Black. Are you telling me his entire army lost every shred of morale by the time they reached Winterfell, especially with them marching towards a battle to the death that will change the tide of the war in their favor if they win and result in the total destruction of their army if they lose?

I think it’s mentioned by Roose Bolton that Ramsey’s decision to call for a charge was foolish as they could have not wasted men and stayed in the castle to defend against a siege, meaning Stannis like in Blackwater made a significant impact on Ramsey’s forces also showing the lack of long term planning Ramsey has as he just throws the full blunt of his men without thinking of better strategies

regardless on how his ending will be when the winds of winter ever comes out, I don't think Stannis in the books or TV show would have attempted this with such numbers, like Rob he was a good strategist, he would have took kings landing, but didn't think the Lannisters and Tyrells would unite, and defeating the wildlings despite being outnumbered there, using a pincer move, I get it the show just wanted him gone for whatever reason, I liked Stannis too, the show ruined him near the end like others

That's a misconception popularized by Braveheart. Infantry are disadvantaged against cavalry no matter the weapon. Reasonably well trained horses are smart enough to dodge polearms on their own initiative, and all it takes is a missed thrust for a spearman to be wide open.

@@Conan_the_Based if multiple ranks of infantry with spears deploy against cavalry there's no possibility all of them will miss furthermore deploy archers behind the infantry to fire into the oncoming cavalry. Infantry always stand an advantaged chance if they remain in formation. Cavalry will be most effective against wavering infantry and light infantry not a solid block of trained disciplined infantry who will not break and run anytime soon

@@ferroangelusprimarchoftheII Yes and no. Even a perfect formation can be harried incessantly and broken. With Stannis' half-frozen army, forming a square wouldn't have bought them much more time against the ridiculous CGI horde that could assemble into textbook formation without any of his scouts even noticing. This whole confrontation was just bad writing all around.

@@Conan_the_Based Yeah that's true this scene is just terrible writing and yes I agree with you there, light cavalry and mounted archers were most adept at wearing down formations. I'll cite the Battle of Carrhae as my example here. In this scene however, the Bolton army is primarily made of heavy/shock cavalry and therefore not that adept at wearing down formations and instead breaking them with several charges and not what is shown in this show

@@ferroangelusprimarchoftheII Heavy cavalry is precisely why a spear wall wouldn't work here. Short spears alone can't form a dense wall simply because the men themselves standing shoulder-to-shoulder prevent it. Ancient warfare solid formations were achieved with heavy interlocking shields while the spears (and swords) were used for counterattack. Later warfare used longer pikes so multiple rows of men could feed the same spear wall. In this case, Stannis' men had neither large shields nor long pikes. They 'll simply be crushed under hoof, spears and square formation or no. Anyway, I came to split hairs and that's my hair-splitting quota for the day :)

It's good writing in a way because it fits her character. Brienne of Tarth is supposed to be this larger than life figure, a woman knight challenging all traditions, but everything she does serves her own vainglory while she botches all of her knightly duties. She fails to protect Renly, Catelyn Stark, and Arya. Now she's shirking her pledge to Sansa as she pursues her personal vendetta against Stannis, 'in Renly's name' of course.
