How Accurate Was Game of Thrones’ Battle of the Bastards?
Que alguien me de una explicación razonable sobre cómo pueden apilarse así esa cantidad de cadáveres.
“‘The Battle of the Bastards’ becomes incredibly compact,” Benioff told IGN. “All these men, all these combatants, crammed into this incredibly tight space on the battlefield. You read accounts of the battles in the Civil War where the battles were piled so thick it was actually an obstruction on the battlefield.”
Cierto, parece que se refiere a que la combinación de las dos cosas (U y pila) es (demasiada) coincidencia para que quede más guay. No a que la pila en sí sea un invento.No dice eso.
We saw Ramsay's spearmen surround Jon and the Wildlings and crush them from all sides. Is that based on anything real?
It actually is. It's based on the battle of Cannae from the Second Punic War that was fought in 216 B.C. Hannibal invades Italy, and the Romans were able to raise about 80,000 soldiers. Hannibal didn't have the numbers that the Romans did, so at the battle, the Carthaginians took their lines into a U-shape. The Romans started punching through the Cathiginian line, but the problem with that was, they attacked up to the middle part of that U. The Carthaginians constricted their own lines and they closed the gap all the way around, and they killed something like 60,000 men in a day. So it's actually historical. The mountain of bodies blocking Jon and the Wildlings is more cinematic, but the actual tactics Ramsay used are pretty solid.
Jon almost got trampled to death in the crush of battle. How much of a danger was that for a medieval soldier?
At the battle of Agincourt, the French took thousands of casualties before they reached the main English line. There are contemporary accounts from the battle of French soldiers dying because they've suffocated when mud went through their visor, and they couldn't get up. A lot of the French and English historians who were at the battlefield itself mentioned how horrific it was that all these men drowned to death in mud, and were trampled by their fellow soldiers. The show emphasized that claustrophobic feeling for Jon.
Last-minute cavalry arrivals do have plenty of precedent in the history books.
No battle illustrates that fact better than the one that finally defeated Napoleon: Waterloo. On that fateful day in 1815, an army under the Prussian Prince Blucher arrived late in the afternoon to save the Duke of Wellington from Napoleon's attack.
Wellington attributed his victory to the nick-of-time arrival of Blucher's forces, and later called it "the nearest-run thing you ever saw.

De "Generation Kill":
Solo Jon Nieve? Davos parece que hace honor a su apodo y esta encebollado, porque él es otro "gran estratega", y en la batalla solo es un mero inútil tomando decisiones a la cual mas absurda. De Jon nos lo podemos creer pero de Davos ni de coña. Lo que hacen con Davos es absolutamente criminal.Hombre, pero hay que reconocer que como estratega a Jon Nieve NI CON UN PALO.
