Better battle strategy for sure. A good shield wall might have helped with the Others.

True. I don't know if there shield wall battle sequences are as good as they could be, but at least they try to do it right at times.

So few shows do justice to ancient battle formations - phalanx, legion, schiltron, etc. The main notable exception for me is the opening scene of Rome. Also, GoT has had a couple of quality scenes in the Battle of the Bastards with the encirclement and the cavalry charge breaking it, and in The Long night, with the Unsullied covering the retreat to the castle.
