About Bowen Marsh’s campaign against the Weeper, how many men do you estimate he had under his command at the Bridge of Skulls ? With 100 brothers dead, how could it even count as a victory ? Anyway, how could just 300 wildlings deal this much damage to the Watch force, considering the watch usually has a clear metallurgical & cavalry edge over the wildlings ?

According to WOIAF, Bowen had 400 men against 300 and lost 100 while inflicting more severe casualties on the Weeper. 

As to how, it’s a fight on a bridge – you can’t really use cavalry effectively.
