The reason I started this was because I saw a thread about the 'greatest generals of the world' seeing so many Indian members listed those 'unknown' Indian names. but I dont know their 'history' so cant say anythin.

so here is my list of my all-time-favorite generals: (according to time span)

孙武/子Sun Wu/Zi,
白起Bai Qi,
项羽Xiang Yu,
韩信Han Xin,
卫青Wei Qin,

"Huo Qubing died at the early age of 24 due to a plague"
What a name! I blame his parents for his death :lol:

My all time fav has got to be Cao Cao. He was often depicted as the villain but personally I think he is a genius. Given his circumstances I think he did the right thing most of the time.

I normally rank 卫青 above 霍去病. Being a general is more than simply leading troops into battle, but also balance politics and relations between peers. Huo Qubing got into conflict with other nobles way too easily. Perhaps it was his young age and he would have gotten better over time, but we will never know since he died young.

班超 is my favourite.

Sun Tzu

He was basically the role model for many famous generals in history (such as Napoleon) and is still a "guide" for many generals today.

Many? I would have thought Sun Tzu would be required reading for every military academy. The only book that can make you look inteligent just to be seen reading in ;)

But they always try to make the characters more and more Caucasian looking.
