In fact, he should have had his subordinates bring Brann out of the castle. I guess after 10,000 years - give or take - I can only conclude he was impatient.

Alas, as there doesn't appear to be any survivors, there won't be any After Action Review to discuss.

It is worth noting the logistical advantages of supporting an undead army.
- No need to feed
- No fatigue management
- No camp requirements
- No projectile weapons = no ammo supply
- Minimal waste management
- No Health & Safety risk assessments (they're already dead)
- No HR issues
- no environmental assessments
- no Gender Briefings
- no sexual harassment briefings
I mentioned this earlier, but there's a reason that Genghis Khan was able to conquer the world with relative ease. Melee forces are pretty useless against mounted units. Especially undead ones that can't hold pikes properly. Houses at full charge generate a huge amount of power. An army of thousands of mounted Dothraki would have decimated the whights.
