Military Might

What’s up guys! Well swing and a miss on the Euron call. I don’t see how he can go to Daenerys at all after roasting her fleet. I have been going over who has the strength and where it is to better understand what might happen coming up. I am trying to figure the numbers, here is what I think so far(depending on how many Dothraki Dany brought over with her).

Cersei and Jaime

They said that the Lannister’s had 10,000 men at Castorly Rock. I would figure they have at least 5,000 at King’s Landing with gold cloaks and personal guards. The Reach was said to number up to 100,000 when Renly had their armies together. I will go out on a limb and say 50,000 for the sake of arguing just due to wars and people that have gone home to protect their own lands. So we could say the Lannister’s with The Reach, Westerlands, King’s Landing and the Stormlands number around roughly 50,000″ 60,000 depending on losses at Highgarden and Castorly Rock. Euron also has 1,000 ships that are manned so, being generous, say an average of 30 a ship would be another 30,000. 80,000″ 90,000

Daenerys Targaryen

Originally 8,000 Unsullied probably around 6,000 or less now. There is no way she could have brought over 100,000 Dothraki( which is how many there were supposed to be at the beginning of the show). Lets say she brought over 30,000. So total men let’s say 30,000″ 40,000 AND 3 BIG ASS DRAGON’S.

The North, The Vale, and the Wildlings

Poor Jon Snogaryen, Robb’s force numbered roughly 20,000 Northmen. The Boltons made up a large part of that force and many of their men and Jon’s died at the Battle of the Bastards. The Vale is rumored to have between 30,000″ 50,000. I would say it is more like 20,000. The Wildling numbers are also suffering from the wars they have been fighting I would guess they are down to 3,000″ 5,000. Overall with Jon training women and men to fight I would say that all these armies together would be lucking to fill out to 20,000″ 25,000 LUCKY. It is probably around 15,000.

The question is where do all parties go from here.

Jaime said that the Unsullied would have to leave Castorly Rock and make their way across Westeros on foot. I thought they would siege them in, but that doesn’t seem to be the plan. I think that they will try to catch the Unsullied while they are making their way back to Daenerys. Now Jaime coming with his forces from Highgarden he would meet them somewhere most likely in the Riverlands. I would think somewhere between the Stony Sept and the God’s Eye lake(http://gameofthrones.net/images/Westeros_Maps/Map_Westeros_Political.gif not my map just one I found). If they can catch the Unsullied alone in a foreign country and with no horses and less armor this will be a bad deal for Grey Worm. I think Daenerys and Tyrion are going to realize that is the plan. I think this is where we are going to get our first open field battle between the armies. I do think Daenerys will be the early favorite with 3 dragon’s, but I also think Jaime and Randyll Tarly are going to be ready. I believe it will be more of a stalemate with losses for both sides and most likely a dragon being injured. I think both regroup while Jon keeps screaming at them that they are wasting time and will all die if they don’t get together to fight the Army of the Dead.

Also where in the hell is Robert Arryn? Is he still in the Vale? If he is and anyone finds out about him that is an easy way for someone to gain an army. Grabbing a Lord while their army is away can’t be to terribly hard.

Keep it up guys!
