Robb wastes two months sitting at Riverrun only to allow the Riverlords to return to their keeps and fight divided once more. He then invades the Westerlands with a fraction of his total forces.
Robb launches his invasion immediately after the Battle of the camps with his full force of North and Riverlands soldiers. How does this change the campaign?
That’s not the order of events as I understand it. Rather, following the Battle of the Camps, Edmure allows the Riverlords to split and then Robb holds tight at Riverrun because he doesn’t have the strength to hit Harrenhal (and indeed, didn’t have the strength even when the Riverlords were with him).
But Robb’s plan works – he takes out Stafford’s force at Oxcross, forces Tywin to follow him. Taking the whole of the army with him wouldn’t really help much. Especially since he wants Riverrun itself held to prevent Tywin from turtling again.
