I think nobody denies that having access to superior infrastructure ( Lines of communication, better possibilities for supplies and reinforcements and so on) is helpful. However, I'd argue that it did not revolutionize warfare, in the sense of from the point that railways and telegraphs were invented, and indeed before this, beginning with the national armies of the french revolution, and 1914, warfare looked very much the same.

It was not until World war I that war was truly "revolutionized" here in the west.

We are discussing orders of magnitude here, warfare has constantly been undergoing change at different rates. For me the strategic changes brought by better communication and infrastructure certainly constitutes a revolution for the grander scale of war, certainly as important as the machine gun. And the strategic importance of these factorsmay very well make them operational and tactical objectives.

Charles Cornwallis maybe?

Either Genghis Khan for taking the whole of asia (not including Russia), and probably Alexander the Great, or Rameses III or Julius Caesar, each of these either protected their land or gained massive empires that spanned for centuries.

1. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk - Fought off the British, French, Italian, Armenians, Greeks, Greek armed gangs, Ottomans, USA ( helped Financially), Turkish traitors, and New Zealand/Australian troops.

2. Napoleon Bonaparte - No need to explain really

3. Caesar - Fighting off hordes with Barbarians while outnumbered and still win several times is really impressing.

4. Suleyman the magnificent - This guy was the Ottoman sultanate that expanded the empire most, his tactics was impressing and he made the Ottoman empire a superpower of its time.

5. Osman I - A handfull of Turkish tribesmen takes on the byzantines. The founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman succeeded his father to a small territory granted by the Seljuk Turks. He followed the gazi tradition, expanding and enriching his empire.

6. Murat II - Capturing Istanbul (Constantinopel) from the Byzanties after several days of siege. When he entered Constantinopel, he opened a new age (Can't remember which age tho)

7. Hannibal - Speaks for him self

8. Djengis Khan - Made the biggest empire ever in history, nuff said. (Nearly forgot this guy)

Tavington, don't be provocative.

[Connzcdf]

Castro and Che Guavara. I like communism and ponies and army people.

[Duuring]

Tavington, don't be provocative.

Tarleton ftw.

[James Stewart]

Tavington, don't be provocative.

Wasn't being provocative was simply providing a counter argument to his statement is all.

Anyway, mine would have to be Edward Longshanks the former English King, equally inspirational to me is Margret Thatcher, she really was the Iron Lady and was the only proper PM in the past 60 years who stood up for what she believed in and wasn't afraid of what people thought.

Las Malvinas son Argentinas!

No.

It's hard to pick one in particular.

George Washington? -Don't like him too much... (Played to much Assassin's Creed 3 and I support the Villan Charles Lee in killing Washington).

Hannibal Barca? -Perhaps as a Warlord I see him more fit but as the Greatest General of all times... He's a Great General but he lacks skill in other areas.

Napoleon Bonaparte? - No, because he's French. *Trolls Face*

Julius Caesar? - I like him and he archieved a great deal of things, like "Destroying" my Ancestors! (Belgican Tribes)

Cao Cao? -Some of you may not know him but he trurly won a great deal of Battles and set the Stage for China to get unified.

Oda Nobunaga? -I honestly think I admire him the most of all the people mentioned before, Okehazam can't be overlooked. Famous for the quote: Is that so? (Also one of the three Unifiers of Japan).

Alexander The Not so Great? - The most overrated prick of all time, he gets far more glory than he deserves. (Lets get in the freacking desert to gangbang one tiny fucking village).

I would not call the persian empire, nor the area between modern day Turkey, Egypt and India "one tiny fucking village". And Gangbang is hardly correct either.
