Dothraki never stood a chance.

1. They would have had to landed south between Highgarden and Storm's end. Both with armies large enough to hold them off and even defeat them.

2. King's Landing would have got them roasted as we all saw.

3. By the time they got North supplies and men would be short even with old Targaryen support. Which probably wouldn't get support anyways because of seeing what the Dothraki had done so far. Also the North would have froze them to death and they would be stupid enough to go beyond the Wall and get wiped the frick out.

I disagree with what your saying because the Dothraki don't storm castles they essentially run a scorched earth campaign and have no equal in the open field. The Dothraki also would have the largest force which is reported to be with 100,000 men with most of them on horseback. Then the Targaryens would have supporters in Westeros who would rise up to join their cause and you know how fickle the kingdoms are just ready to join the winning side. For example the Tyrells.

In the war before people didn't siege storms end they were getting starved out. I can't remember if that was the Greyjoy rebellion or when Robert battled the Targaryens but Storms End was going to fall if Davos wasn't able to sneak in food for Stannis and his men.
