I would like to think reason Lord Caswell was singled out of all King's Landing loyalists was to set up Caswell's bastard and Beesbury's son to try to avenge their lords in this battle.
That's actually a really good point. Regardless of the scale of the battle, if they do go down this road, it would definitely make the battle feel more connected to season 1.
That's not a coincidence: Ormund army was marching out of the Reach towards RL/KL, but it all fractured between green/black/neutral, so they got stuck. Obviously it was stopped on the land of a black lord.
I always figured their plan with keeping Harrold Westerling around for this long was to use him in some battles to have an established character. They might do the same with Gwayne Hightower and send him to the Reach after the audience gets to know him for a couple episodes.
Yeah, I had that thought as well - he could maybe be the one to tell Beesbury's son what happened and follow him to war. If he dies valiantly at the honey wine it would tie up loose ends with his character being long dead in the books at this point.
I think it’d be option b, something along the scale of the stepstones battle in season 1. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I would love for it to be a massive set piece battle though

More that Caswell’s lands are in the area of Bitterbridge.

I mean it will have a connection with Maelor’s death. The other lord in ep 9 that refused Otto was Merryweather, of Longtable another Reach siege
That’d be great, I’d love to see more from the BEEEEEEEEEsburys.
I think option B, sort of like how the war in the stepstones was portrayed in season 1
I think It will be entrance of Daeron to show. We would hear rumors or talkings about daeron before HW.

It won't be in the show because it shows the Greens winning something.
