Greatest General after Alexander the Great of Macedon?

[muy_thaiguy]

I know there are some front runners, and I believe that Alexander has the number 1 spot, unless someone disagrees for some reason. But I want to hear from others on their views about this.

Julius Caeser and Jackson are close but i voted Julius Caeser

[Chris7He]

Alexander was not a great general. If he fought Hannibal or Julius, he would've been fucked. The true best tactician is Hitler or Genghis Khan. Stonewall Jackson was a hotheaded general who got the job done.

Stonewall Jackson if he had commanded at Gettysburg, we would have won. Lee was a pussy.

Hitler? He was military FOOL! It was because of his ineptetude that the Eastern Front backfired so tremendously! The only thing he could do personally was give speeches.

Because he was shot by his own troops. Lee was a gentleman who didn't see things the way Jackson did. He could've taken Little Round Top early, but he didn't he also could have struck from the north.

There is the "other" option in case I would forget people like Pompey. I put Caesar up there because he is often counted among the great leaders in military.

This post is simply seething with brilliance. I guess you're right - Alexander was not the greatest general. Damn, and all this time i thought he was. I never realized that Hannibal or Julius would have beat him up - thank you for pointing that out. * * slaps head * * It's a fooking epiphany!

BK is right though if stonewall had been commmander the south probably would have won the cival war and then we might be communist.

You're not that bad out of flame wars.

Hannibal used superior calvary tactics and Julius used legionnaire formations that easily crushed the phalanx formation.

Hitler invented a little thing called the blitzkrieg. No. It wasn't Rommel. It was Hitler who had spent time in the Great War and won an Iron Cross. He simply wasted time killing Jews when he could've spent time fighting.

hitler had a pretty big problem in geopolitics. Its pretty hard for anyone to win a war in that situation with those people fighting against you...at the same time, he had not done some of the things in russia he did, he may have had a better chance.

Hence another reason why he was a fool. He concentrated manpower on death camps and concentration camps instead of the front lines.

And Chris, Alexander used superior cavalry, employed war elephants (great for rendering cavalry useless), and used a different form of the phalanx the what later people would use, one that was more flexible and effective.

His brilliance was prevalent up until he started taking various medications so that he looked like a TRUE 'aryan superman'. He then deterred from research into nuclear weapons, tanks, missiles, and jets.
