purple-eyes Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Reach had a lot of army, we all know about this. And Randyl Tarly was apparently a better military leader than Mace and Rhaegar. He is the only one who defeated Robert during the rebellion. If Dornish army can march to Trident, why not army of Reach?Do you really need to have so many people to siege a Storm's end? Stannis does not have much army left, Robert took most of them. Why the hell Rhaegar did not try to summon Reach army?He really thought he is a better fighter than Robert? Is this because Mace was worried that Robert may win and Rhaegar may fail so he did not want to be so aggressive?Just like Walder Frey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Frasier of House Crane Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The siege on Storm's End was meant to break the rebels' morale. If Robert couldn't even hold his own castle, why would the rebels follow him? Also, Storm's End is closer to King's Landing than the Riverlands, and if Aerys needed the armies, they could march in relatively short time to him.

Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 You are aware of the existence of the "small questions" thread, aren't you? The one pinned on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I would say that he had nothing to give them. Aerys was the King and Robert was winning when he was cowardly hiding in the middle of nowhere with his bodyguards while he had sex. Why they should trust him and support him?

thelittledragonthatcould Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 He had outnumbered the Rebels even without the need for the men with Mace. Some prophesy he had read probably told him that he would be victorious so he didn't ask for more men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
