GoT could get away with a few of those "close up, in the battle" type scenes. But you're not going to get Braveheart like battles scenes in an HBO tv series. Not one where a lot of money needs to be spent on creating sets, costumes and CGI dragons and wolves.

and the books skip a lot of the battle scenes as well. I think I'll be able to survive without them
