I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. I'm referring to a battle that hasn't happened yet. In the 5th book, Aegon and Jon Connington and the Golden Company land in Westeros and take back Connington's home. In one of the last scenes in the book involving those characters, Connington says they are going to take Storm's End, and Aegon tells Connington that he (Aegon) will lead the charge. So early in Book 6, that battle (or some trick if he takes it with a trick as I think Connington said something about) will happen along with the battle at Mereen and the battle outside of Winterfell.
In the past, GRRM has not always described battles, instead he might just refer to the battle and what happened. The prime example of this is when Robb's army takes Jaime Lannister in the Whispering Woods, but we never saw that battle firsthand in the book or on the show. I feel like GRRM has to describe the battles at Winterfell and Mereen in some detail, but I was wondering if he might just refer to the outcome at Storm's End without actually describing the battle. Anyway, long explanation, but that's what I was referring to.
I do agree that all these battles won't be able to be shown in any detail on TV, they will really have to pick and choose, especially with the amount of CGI they will have to spend on the dragons.
