Title: Who do you think the best Commander/General of all time?
Post by: TheGaminDoctor on July 31, 2019, 06:35:49 am
I got curious to see your guys' opinions about who you think is the best commander/general of all time.

Might be the most default answer but imo it's actually Napoleon, due to him using the Corps-System and defeating much larger forces.
He just was a little bit too greedy.

I swear I've seen this exact discussion before with the first answer being Napoleon.

Can agree with Flexi, altough there were many others I think he was most successful!

It always depends on the situation. You can have the greatest general on the offensive, but loose in the end to logistics *cough*germany*cough*. So it would have to be an allrounder general. I like Cao Cao, he is like a Chinese Napoleon - great in administrative, cultural and military things. There isn't a single thing that he didn't reform during his reign. If you go purely by K/D then I guess someone like admiral Yi could win.

Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules,
Of Conon and Lysander and some of Meltiadies
But of all the world's brave heroes there's none that can compare,
With a tow row row row row
To the British Grenadiers
