Who is your favorite general? Why?

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Napoleon bonaparte.
Because he did things that would seem possible only in the ancient age or middle ages in the 19th century.
Some say hitler and germany too had great conquests in the modern age- But there's a diff with wehrmacht -its the whole general staff-thousands of commanders pooling together their brains and resources in case of germany,for napoleon its essentially a one man show.One man leading armies in person and winning battles like the old times..and doing this with incredible success in essentially the early modern era-where nation states had already been established.7 coalitions of all the remaining superpowers of the world,plus his ego,the russian winter and royal navy needed to bring him down.
Basically he's the last true warrior king.(head of state who leads his armies into battle in person and is succesful at it)

General Zia-ul-Haq.

 

[Aepsilons]

Miyamotono Yoshitsune

was a tragic and mysterious hero in Japan. He is still popular today, even though he has been dead for over 800 years. He was a general of the imperial Taira clan and was very talented and charismatic. However, certain people tried to get rid of Yoshitsune during his life, so in the end, he could not help but commit suicide. His dramatic, yet tragic life makes many people sympathetic and imaginative. His biography, the Gikeiki, said he would create lots of legends throughout Kyoto. Indeed, the Kyoto region provides many historic sites of Yoshitsune, where you can learn more about his life and legend.

One thing tho, Hitler wasn't a General.

Subutai has him beat hands down.
While Napolean was a great general for a long time , the world adjusted itself to Napoleon and his tactics or methods of war in the latter part of his career outdated or conventional leading to his defeat.

Subutai was basically a master of his craft , he continued to renew his tactics , his spy tactics info gathering , clever deceptions etc made him a fearful general.
What i believe makes him better then others were his continual evolution of war tactics , his methods were continually evolving throughout his long span of military career (where many like Napolean and perhaps others like hannibal failed)
