Dekkers has become the community's designated old man with alzheimers who sits in the corner reminiscing about simpler times, happier times... "The spins" he wails "do you remember the SPINS!!!"

This is about your favorite leader, not your favorite battle.

Giuseppe Garibaldi, the unifier of Italy.


A real adventurer with no doubt of that.

Garibaldi is great, but I have to settle for Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. A great man from Old Europe.

He was pretty legit. If it weren't for the fact he was defeated during the Great Northern War by a power nobody was expecting (Russia), I'd put him up near the upper echelons of the greats (he's already a great, I think, just not the best of the best).

Sadly, like most of our more prominent kings, he manages to stupidly get himself killed in battle.

Gustav Adolf, looking at you here.

They were just Vikings ^.^


Anyway a lot of great gen, had only luck, that they didnt die on the battlefield. For me the best one is gen Lee.

Gettysburg, his biggest fault, he didnt blame tactic or soldiers only himself. Also, Union lost more men in battle against smaller army:P

Not necessarily, Gettysburg wasn't his biggest fault, Pickets charge which happen on the 3rd day of the fighting is what drove them back. Pickets charge mixed with Little Round Top broke the camels back. If they took Little Round Top and perhaps had a small force go ahead and remove the fences (or at least bombard it a bit with artillery fire) the entire Civil War would have been different. If he took Gettysburg, he would have been able to just walk on up to Washington and besiege the town.







Anywho, my favorite is Joshua Chamberlain for his acts at Little Round Top.
