[edit] Causes

The causes section is just a plot summary of A Game of Thrones, which doesn't belong here and already exists elsewhere. I recommend replacing it by a short paragraph laying out the sides and their basic motivations, if we even need that. Brendan Moody 19:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Could be useful. I think the info in this article is pretty good and am loathe to mess around with it too much, but a better laying out of the sides could be a good idea. I am hoping to re-read the series in a few months' time so I can double-check the army numbers, as I don't remember virtually every army's precise numbers being given for every battle, but I may be wrong.--Werthead 22:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Well most of those are mine and while most are given directly some many were found using matamatical relations example Roose's army at the Green fork isn't stated however Robb had 18K at Moat Cailin leaving 400 defenders, the Frey's had 4K, 800 were left to defend the twins and Robb had 6K when he attacked Jaime (there is an unknown variable of how many men joined Robb with Mallister which i put at 1K) which gives Roose a roughly army of 16K at the Green Fork. However I think some were changed or added that don't sound right. Cybroleach 20:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Mummer's Ford and the Brotherhood without Banners

There are some things i wondered about this since it's not one of my paragraphs; first I'm not sure it should be part of the war since Gergor wasn't flying any banners and Beric was sent out as an exciquetion part and was before Robert's death? (Which is why i left it out). Then it's placement in the timeline i always placed it before everything else, however it mentions Karl and Marq leaving to attack Lannister foragers after hearing of Jaime's victories, which i don't recall at all? And was under the impression they returned to thier fathers at Golden Tooth after seeing Ned, and rallied small parties together after Jaime smashed them. Also it calls Raymund Lord of Darry (isn't ever said in AGOT or ACOK) and if I'm correct in the timeline can't be true he'd have died before his father at Goldentooth.Cybroleach 20:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
