DEUS VULT

Send out a few good men.

>>85689620
5000

>>85689555

Assuming each block is 100 men (this is being generous), that's 8,700 foot soldiers plus about 140 cavalry

>>85689620

I just counted the closest rank and multiplied up
It's under 3.5k

>>85689720
I don't intend to be D&D's defender here, but a composition like that would suggest that this is only part of their forces. You don't need or want cavalry to storm a castle and the troops appeared to be Lannister men - it kinda makes sense from Jaime's perspective to not push Tarly's new allegiance by having his men participate directly.

thats a really stupid looking formation they've decided to take there. am i wrong? is that practical in some way?

>>85690093
is this for a field battle? the cav should be mostly on the flanks

cant really tell what types of troops there are - but you generally dont want to have that many reserves (imagine your front line fighting/skirmishing, what is the other 20 lines doing?)

Highgarden is just an other castle without a city around it and surrounded by a plain with nothing.No fields or farms.

>>85689555

>>85689555
I would use my superior army and crush those few Lannister men. After all the Reach had the most soldiers at the beginning of the show and they didn't lose a single battle over the course of the story.

Well, it's can't be a marching formation, too wide for no reason, they clearly wouldn't fit through that CGI shrubbery in the background.

I guess they have to stand in certain formation for teleportation spell to work. Either that or they did the battle then very-very quickly run outside and formed to cheer up a nice old lady by having her play real-life space invaders.

Fucking Dabid is out of control.

>>85689620
4330.

>>85690507
It's clearly around 6000 men. There's like 90 groups there

>>85690093
They're going to attack a castle, it doesn't seem like the battle took place on the field, so the formation doesn't matter much

>>85689555
Show is getting pants on head retarded, teleporting fleets, teleporting armies, dothraki stuck on a barren rock for weeks on end, some dude is still rowing a boat for ages, true poetry in motion right there.

>>85689720
Each block is 3x12, lets say there's about 91 blocks and another 8 half blocks, plus the cavalry, the size of that army is roughly around 3600 man give or take.

no it doesn't, a enemy attacking the front line will leave it''s own flank exposed. the second line is the longest for specificaly for this reason. Also props to keeping the cavalry in the center like they should considering the defensive nature of the formation

Tullys hold out for months to year after Starks death. Tyrlels lose in 20 seconds

>>85691146
>>85691368
Yes adding to the fact that the Tyrells have like 10 times the men they also have provisions to sit inside their castle for years. No matter how you look at this Highgarden could not fall that fast to 10.000 men in any scenario.

Bravo, D&D

thing is, the Tyrells died with Mace and Loras (since no others seem to exist in the show)

so if ~100k troops might have been raised by Tyrells in season 2-3, many of them were sent home because no need to keep that large an army mobilized. Gotta send men to harvest and preparing for winter, since paying wages to soldiers is expensive.

So, then in s5 Mace returns to capital with maybe 10k troops? Mostly "personal retinue" from their own lands and villages directly under Tyrell rule, not troops that would be their vassals.
Maybe some thousands of those troops were at Highgarden itself, but possibly thousands of them might have gone POOF as they and their leadership might have been stationed around the Sept of Baelor when the upper nobility of Tyrells went BOOM.

Meaning the Sept of Baelor accident might have resulted in the destruction of large portion of remaining Tyrell household guard, and loss of their officers, commanders, etc.

Besides, how could Olanna, who is not even de factor Tyrell, somehow raise the bannermen who were pledged to Mace Tyrell?
The local bannermen have no reason to raise their troops to defend an old granny who once was married to a Tyrell and whose whole legitimacy relied on her son being the current Lord Tyrell.

tldr: it's a stupid TV show with barely any logic in it, but then again there is no logical reason why Olanna should be able to muster 100k troops from Reach to defend her home castle.

>>85692001

Yep, and they can teleport and have ornately designed steps attached to them so they can drop it down on other boats and their absolute madman captains can rek dozens of people singlehandedly with his godmode cheat activated.

WHERE IS THE TYRELL ARMY

>>85691637
Aye ye what more could you expect from D&D. Only logical explanation would be since the Tyrells have no Heir than Randal Tarly would be the only logical leader to follow

Besides, the Oldtown is the largest city in the Reach. And Lannisport is biggest city in Westerlands, whilst Lannisters themselves sit at Casterly Rock. For all we know the "Castle Highgarden" was just a village but the local fort was "de jure" capital for Reach.

Those guys are ripe for flanking.
I'm thinking 2 echelons of 1500-2000 men in each.
Archers at the walls to fire first. Reserves of 500-1000 in the castle or in the center arrayed in battle line.

If I have half that number then 1 echelon to attack after the archers and artillery pour fire into the enemy ranks. Center battle line will have to take the front blow, then flankers move up to sweep enemy.

Any cavalry are used to take out the commander and his guard or to chase down breaking troops.

just as North lost big portion of their leadership at Red Wedding, Reach lost big portion of their leadership (including male line of the ruling house) at Baelors Sept.
an old granny who happened to be married to the previous Lord Tyrell is not gonna be able to convince the remaining bannermen to mobilize their troops against the most well armed and well led armies currently in Westeros.

you make the assumption that Olanna is somehow "leader" of Reach, which she really is not. The nobles were pledged to Mace Tyrell, and Mace was pledged to the crown. Remove Mace from the row, and the pledge to the crown still stands.

They didn't use the ladders you mongoloid, did you even watch the epsiode? they waltzed in the front door and slaughtered them from within

im really triggered that nowhere in this show do they give you any dates or times when something happens
assuming that tyrells only had a couple hundo soldiers defending the castle and jaime had around 5k, the siege still would have lasted weeks at the very least, probably longer since most sieges didnt end up with storming the castle but starving the defenders out
even if they decided to storm it the moment they built all siege engines and equipment, they still would have needed to destroy the outer walls/towers with trebuchets or the losses would have been massive
also i was pretty triggered by the silly ladders the eunuch army had, i mean are the writers aware that with a ladder like that the defenders can just fucking push it off since it isnt sturdy enough/attached to anything

>>85693986
And Tyrell army would have enough time to reach the castle (well they had 120k men) by that time. And daenerys could have helped.

This is so bullshit.

Approx 7000 thousand. Look at the square formations closer to the front. 15 men wide, 5 men deep approximately. Multiply that, then multiply again by the number of squares.

Lannister army was 10000 strong, they must have left 3000 foot soldiers at casterly rock

"The Queen's Justice" received widespread acclaim from critics, who considered the long-awaited meeting between Daenerys and Jon, the unexpected arrival of Bran at Winterfell, the agonizing fate of Ellaria Sand, the bait-and-switch scene concerning Casterly Rock and Highgarden, and the final performances of Indira Varma and Diana Rigg as highlights of the episode.

>>85689555

>>85695093
so basically everything was a highlight?
BRAVO CRITICS

>>85690653
116 groups I think.

>>85695158
Kelly Lawler of USA Today said "'The Queen's Justice' was a surprising and surprisingly humorous episode that gave fans the long-awaited meeting between Jon Snow and Daenerys, 'ice' and 'fire' as Melisandre so unsubtly pointed out." Matt Fowler of IGN described the episode as "amazing", saying ""The Queen's Justice" did justice to the long-awaited coming together of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. With a devilishly good script and some pointed action (along with a few twists and turns), this episode contained a ton of long scenes, but no fat. - This was prime Thrones."

>>85689555

Laugh at their terrible battle formation and deploy wide to flank and envelope the their position. Heavy infantry in the center with spear infantry backed by reserve heavy infantry in the flanks. Then watch as their troops are decimated, routed and utterly destroyed.

I don't get this either. Ignoring Jamie's/Euron's trap, even if the attack was 100% successful and all the ships survived, Dany's best forces would be cut off and weeks travel away from rejoining the fight. And for what?

Laying siege to KL would have been the smart move. Jamie would need to bring his forces to the open field to lift the siege where Dany's dragons would roast them

I'm not saying they're competent bro.

How come the Lannisters still have that big an army? It's mobilized since the beginning of the Stark-Lannister feud, went through a full blown war, marched multiple times back and forth through the southern regions, besieged Riverrun last season and now they are still good enough to take Highgarden. And all of this while House Lannister has no funds to actually pay for anything.

>>85692944

Before gunpowder, naval battles were 10% ramming and 90% boarding and fighting on deck like a land battle so it kinda makes sense Euron waited for the Unsullied to disembark the ships. Then again, Euron's ships have magical long range super accurate shipboard fire artillery and probably could have burned the Unsullied ships at a distance

You fucknuggets must not even watch the actual episodes, just the teasers. The ladders up walls scenario was just a visualisation of a failed plan. They didnt go up the walls, tyrion revealed he actually had a hidden route and then just used that to open the main gates. The walls scenario was a simulation of a bad plan.

when an army is created, it needs constant "entertainment". if you leave your army unoccupied (no pun intended), itll start fucking shit up. when you have an entire army assembled, youll do well to keep it busy. give it things to attack, rape, and pillage, and it will stay happy. leave it to be, and it might revolt and turn against you for lack of "business"

this is fake dialogue. it pretends to characterize senior tarley by pretending to give him values. it provides a brief and false dilemma in his conversation with Jaime and pretends to add tension to the sequence in which Cersei calls on the Tyrell bannermen to fight for her cause

>>85696576
Are you retarded? The attack on the walls was a diversion to trick the Lannister army while a few of the unsullied went through the sewers and opened the gate.

>>85698197
>fake dialogue
Brainlets.

>>85689555
There's only a few thousand of them and Highgarden supposedly has enough food to feed the entire Reach inside its walls. I'd just close up shop and wait them out.

>>85698257
it is fake; it's contrived. it is not something one believable character says to another. the way Jamie tried to smooth talk him into commanding was interesting because we know his character and know how he likes to butter people up. Tarley's response was not interesting because he has no character, values, or motivations so they contrived this faux drama for half a scene to make it seem like the Lannisters didn't walk all over him, even though that's exactly what happened

>>85698294
Yep. It's winter. And westeros winters are harsh. Wait three weeks, you have other forces for the guerilla warfare. Half will be dead and half will be in open rebellion.

>>85689620
I don't watch the show and this image is blurry, so I can't tell if these soldiers are using shields in a testudo formation or not because it kind of looks like they might be.

Anyway in those blocks at the front I count 12 men long and 4 men deep, meaning each block contains roughly 48 soldiers.

I also count 100-103 (somewhere about there) blocks of soldiers.

This means that the total of number of men is about 4800, with another 100-200 for the cavalry or whatever the fuck those guys spread about the middle of the formation are meant to be.

I'd put the total at 5000,

I have no idea what they're attacking, but unless it's a small castle or a shitty town or something, they didn't bring nearly enough fucking soldiers.

To capture any decently sized walled city or fortification that's fully-manned you're going to need at least 10000+.

Just to capture Alesia, a shitty barbarian town on a hill with wooden palisade walls, Julius Caesar himself had 60,000 men.

In the Siege of Carthage, the Carthaginians had 100,000 soldiers. The Romans likely had a similar number.

Considering the stupidly high cost of sieges, whether it's lives through direct assault or time through a lengthy continued siege process, 5000 men is pretty fucking stupid.

If that's all these guys can muster, then my reaction to seeing that would be to go back to sleep.

>>85692305
>when you live on the edge of the shivering sea
W-what's that?

>>85699606
Also, continuing from my last points there's no god damn siege equipment.

Unless these soldiers are all medieval Spider-Man or straight out of Assassin's Creed these retards literally have no way of taking the castle.

9000 and 20 good men.

Or just keep the gate shut and continue as normal since they have 5000 men and no siege equipment. The most they can do is die at the bottom of the wall.

>>85700304
IDK I don't watch the show.

>>85700349
Well with those woods, and that force, i wouldn't doubt they'd manage to get some shit together for a siege, so the only choices would be hold out until winter and hope no betrayal, then die if the night king isn't defeated, or go with plan a/b and ensure your men will fight with everything they have

>>85693040
But that's fucking wrong.

Highgarden WAS the most well armed, well fed, and well led army in Westeros.

With Tarly leaving it lost being the most "well led" but for fucks sake they still had the most troops and supplies and a CASTLE.

You can't just say that vows and allegiance and nationalism is utterly meaningless because everyone single person becomes spineless when faced with the least bit threat.

>>85700092
That tactic would work even better if maybe you had advanced scouting that the entire Lannister army was marching on your castle and give you time to evacuate before blowing up the castle

>>85700224
>>85700224
Then they encircle the castle and start building ladders and seige towers with all those trees nearby

are you simple?
