Both.

Small battle (big, but start and ends without seeing the majority of it):
Tyrells / Lannister vs. Faith Militant (and i predict it will end with something involving the high sparrow and his knees; and that one faith chick that reads at people is gonna get hers, too).

Big battle:
Ramsay / karstarks / umbers (at first) vs. wildlings / vale / houses still loyal to the Starks (including a turn by the Umbers).

Either of those could get a surprise - Danny, her Dragons, the Unsullied, Dothraki and whoever else she commands could make a surprise appearance at Kings Landing when that goes down.

And the Whitewalkers could very well show up at the Bolton/Stark fight.

i can agree on the whitewalkers scenario.

But the Dany stuff -- i don't think anyone from that storyline is getting on a boat until the very end of the season. then it'll be one of those slow reveal shots where it pulls back to show the entirety of her combined army.

(all speculation, of course, in case anyone was thinking something was being spoiled.)

Hiro was trying to explain the Vale to me after I said I wasn't familiar with the "Knights of the Vale"--like, the knights as a fighting force to be feared. I'm not a moron who doesn't know what the Vale is.

The whitewalkers would make total sense. I wouldn't expect Dany to be involved in a Bolton-Snow battle, but then I didn't expect Stannis to appear at the wall either.

Also throughout the first season, particularly in season 1 episode 1.

A video someone created showing the book version of the Pink Letter which is a bit different than the TV version (so a book spoiler alert):
