Let's settle the question of who was the greatest historical figure of all time and what if he had done something entirely different. Debate, debate, debate and we will then have solved one of the greatest historical problems of all time.

The only valid answer can be Gah, as none of us possess definite first hand knowlegde about any others to make a decision.
But it was a nice try, Dhepee http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif.

Voted GAH, because it sounds funny. What does it actually mean? Something like "I don't care GAH"?

He could have just gone Book of Revelations on their pagan asses. Whooaahhh....General Jesus.
No, he would just have ordered his men to turn the other cheek. A truly bad commander in my view.
By the way, Washington isn't the father of our country.
This poll/thread is meant as a joke. One of the options is Santa Claus. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-jester.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-jester.gif

Exactly. Like Omar Bradley said "true generals study logistics while arm-chair generals study strategy", or something to that effect.
Santa Clause can build all those toys in one year, monitor every child for naughty/nice, and then distribute toys or lumps of coal in one single night using only a sleigh and 8 reindeer. The man's a logicistical genius. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/santa.gif

Jesus would indeed have turned all his men into matyrs but I guess that'd be winning recruits for the Kingdom of Heaven. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif
And Washington is one of the founding fathers of our country, not THE father of our country.

Yup, Santa would win. His skill at organizing industry would be able to outproduce all his competiters. His intelligence network would be flawless and no one would be able to even think badly about Santa without his knowing. And it'd be always accurate intelligence because he checks everything twice. He's also got technology that allows him to deliver payload (gifts or bombs) all over the entire planet in a single night meanwhile evading all detection by any nation's intelligence and early warning systems and with such speed that if ever found out he could escape faster than you'd believe. Of course there is also speculation that his sliegh doesn't actually go fast but makes the world go slow or it might even travel through dimensions allowing the deliverance of payloads without even needing to actually be there.
And if an assasination attempt where to be carried out he'd be invenereable. For one they'd have to find him and even the best intelligence sources agree on not being able to find his Polar base which probably is utilizing stealth technology and possibly even interdimensional travel to phase in and out of our plane of existance when danger comes near. Also he'd never be able to be assasinated because he's got safety doubles in every mall around the globe to confuse any spys or would be assasins.
Not to mention his bio engineered reindeer that fly and have it's rumored that one even has radar device built into it's nose. Wonder what other creatures of terror he has at his dispoal.
Truly a great General, so great that we'd all better leave milk and cookies out in order to not incure his wrath. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-curtain.gif

Only the Phil Silvers Bilko deserves mention. Watching that dog of a movie with Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd was like some kind of weird torture by boredom and cliche.

Santa Claus is the best gereral, controls children all over the world. Don't be nougty boy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Santa Claus in the Frank L. Baum story. The Great Woodsman and his axe in the battle against the Awgwa's is my 2nd favorite fantasy battle.
