Who needs strategy, when dragons are on your side... Oh, wait. Nevermind.

https://www.wired.com/story/game-of-thrones-winterfell-battle-tactical-analysis/ … a worthwhile read. TL;DR: they achieved their goal but have been terribly lucky.

"Hey, I have this really awesome cavalry that I can use to flank, maybe we should use fire to redirect the army of the dead to a kill zone?" "Nah, let's just attack them head-on and lose"

I feel that Sam would have come across the equivalent of Art of War at least once during all his time in libraries...

Also, why didn't they just use the dragons to fly behind the army and take out the generals who were standing back there? Why didn't they dig more of those trenches to light on fire? So many questions, eish!

The dragons would have been best used on the wall breathing fire when the dead approached the walls. That trench was pointless. Who thought that a meter wide trench would stop an army of undead? I guess that was Jons idea...
