I agree with those who would have liked to have seen more talk of military strategy. I loved the episode, but going into it without having had some scenes of all those interesting military leaders planning, discussing and debating strategy in detail feels like a missed opportunity. It would have added another layer to the experience of watching the battle too as there would have been the experience of seeing the plans you knew they were banking on all fall apart and deteriorate into a chaotic fear-filled blood bath.
