Game Of Thrones Season 8: 12 Things You Might've Missed In 'A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms'

3. The War Plans

Game of Thrones Battle of Winterfell Plans
HBO

We get a great strategy meeting this week, with all kinds of different characters involved, but only a glimpse of the board they use for planning.

Thankfully, a decent quality version of it has been released, meaning we can take a much closer (and longer) look at how Winterfell's forces are shaping up to defend the castle next week.

We can see the Knights of the Vale will be taking the left flank, where they'll be commanded by Ser Brienne, alongside Jaime and Podrick too. The Unsullied and Dothraki are going to lead the charge in the centre, with what's left of the Stark forces on the right flank. The bear symbol inside the castle notes Lyanna Mormont, ready to fight the wights when they break through, while there's also an unmarked tile, which presumably refers to the people in the Crypts.
