Ep6

Spoiler:

After this episode I think it's time for Jon to just remain out of battles tbh. Him and Robb are polar opposites in this sense. Jon makes the smart choices when it comes to alliances and plotting, Robb won every battle he went into and tactically outclassed every battle commander he came up against, including Tywin, Jaime, and the Mountain. I don't think we've actually seen Jon win a battle of his own accord yet

Yeah, Jon is great IN a battle, up there with the best fighters in the show... And he's a good leader/king also - but he's not a tactician. Most leaders aren't, Rob was an exception, most have "Generals" (such as Cersei having Jaime, or Dany having various tactical advisors) and plan the broad strokes, rather than individual battle plans.
