Scipio
You scored 72 Wisdom, 87 Tactics, 53 Guts, and 45 Ruthlessness!
You're most simillar to Scipio in the fact that you're smart and ruthless. Scipio beat Hannibal by luring him back from Western Europe (where he was crushing legion after legion of Roman soldiers trying to gain support from local tribes) by laying seige to his home country of Carthage. Hannibal returned to defend his home and was defeated at the Battle of Zama. Ruthless, but it worked.

Scipio was the conqueror of Hannibal in the Punic Wars. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio, and from a very early age he considered himself to have divine inspiration. He was with his father at the Ticino (218), and he survived Cannae (216). The young Scipio was elected (c.211) to the proconsulship in Spain. He conquered New Carthage (Cartagena) almost at once (209) and used the city as his own base; within several years he had conquered Spain. As consul in 205, Scipio wanted to invade Africa, but his jealous enemies in the senate granted him permission to go only as far as Sicily and gave him no army. He trained a volunteer army in Sicily. In 204 he received permission to go to Africa, where he joined his allies the Numidians and fought with success against the Carthaginians. In 202, Hannibal crossed to Africa and tried to make peace, but Scipio's demands were so extreme that war resulted; Scipio defeated Hannibal at Zama (202), returned home in triumph, and retired from public life. He was named Africanus after the country he conquered. His pride aggravated the hatred of his enemies, especially Cato the Elder , who accused the Scipio family of receiving bribes in the campaign against Antiochus III in which Scipio had accompanied (190) his brother. It was only through the influence of his son-in-law, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, that Scipio was saved from ruin. He retired into the country and ordered that his body might not be buried in his ungrateful city. Later he revealed his great magnanimity by his attempt to prevent the ruin of the exiled Hannibal by Rome.

Erwin Rommel (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take)

Erwin Rommel
You scored 59 Wisdom, 87 Tactics, 50 Guts, and 37 Ruthlessness!
You're most comparable to German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in the fact that you have very strong tactical skills and morales. However, Rommel lost in Africa despite the fact that his logicians had told him time and time again that the English were planning to shut off his supply lines. Rommel lost North Africa, because the English shut off his supply lines. The moral of this story... Listen to your logicians. And guard your damn supply lines! But that being said, Rommel was one of the greatest strategic and tactical minds of our day. Had he overrun Egypt (which was a definite possibility at the time), World War II may have turned out significantly differently then it did.

Erwin Rommel entered the army in 1910 and rose slowly through the ranks. In 1939, Adolf Hitler made him a general. Rommel brilliantly commanded an armored division in the attack (1940) on France. In Feb., 1941, he took the specially trained tank corps, the Afrika Korps, into Libya. For his successes there he was made field marshal and earned the name �the desert fox.� In 1942 he pressed almost to Alexandria, Egypt, but was stalled by fierce British resistance and lack of supplies. A British offensive overwhelmed (Oct.-Nov., 1942) the German forces at Alamein (see North Africa, campaigns in ). Rommel was recalled to Germany before the Afrika Korps's final defeat. He was a commander in North France when the Allies invaded Normandy in June, 1944. Allied success led Rommel, who had lost his respect for Hitler, to agree to a plot to remove Hitler from office. Wounded in an air raid in July, he had just recovered when he was forced to take poison because of his part in the attempt on Hitler's life in July, 1944.

Other leaders like yourself include Patton and MacArthur.

Ok, be honest now, what did you vote on this one, no need to be ashamed even if you did vote 4 ~;) :

Recent intel tells you that an enemy munitions dump has been hidden in the basement of a very large civilian hospital. It isn't feasable to send in ground troops to take the hospital, but the destruction of this dump would cripple local resistance. Your orders, General?

-Airstrike the hospital. It has to be done to save our mens' lives.
-No. We can't kill innocents. It'll have to wait.
-No. We can't suffer the bad public relations. It'll have to wait.
-Airstrike the hospital.... and while you're there, hit the elementary school... oh, and the orphanage too.

George McClellan
You scored 68 Wisdom, 76 Tactics, 53 Guts, and 36 Ruthlessness! Like General McClellan, you're smart enough to know what tactical decisions to make. However, the problem with McClellan is that he could never sprout the balls to act on his information, and in the end, that's why Geoge McClellan is only a sidenote in the history books. After graduating from West Point, he served with distinction in the Mexican War and later worked on various engineering projects, notably on the survey (1853-54) for a Northern Pacific RR route across the Cascade Range. Resigning from the army in 1857, he was a railroad official until the outbreak of the Civil War. In May, 1861, McClellan was made commander of the Dept. of the Ohio and a major general in the regular army. He cleared the western part of Virginia of Confederates (June-July, 1861) and consequently, after the Union defeat in the first battle of Bull Run, was given command of the troops in and around Washington. In November he became general in chief. The administration, reflecting public opinion, pressed for an early offensive, but McClellan insisted on adequate training and equipment for his army. In Mar., 1862, he was relieved of his supreme command, but he retained command of the Army of the Potomac, with which in Apr., 1862, he initiated the Peninsular campaign . The collapse of this campaign after the Seven Days battles was charged by many to his overcaution. In Aug., 1862, most of McClellan's troops were reassigned to the Army of Virginia under John Pope . After Pope's defeat at the second battle of Bull Run, McClellan again reorganized the Union forces, and in the Antietam campaign he checked Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North. He was slow, however, to follow Lee across the Potomac and in Nov., 1862, was removed from his command.

General Custer
You scored 59 Wisdom, 40 Tactics, 61 Guts, and 63 Ruthlessness!
You're reckless... a little like Custer. Make sure you know what you're up against before you charge into battle. But, that being said, Custer was one of the more successful generals of his day. He was a graduate of West Point and one of the more senior officers in the Union army. Custer had a distinguished career until his untimely demise at Little Bighorn.

In the comprehensive campaign against the Sioux planned in 1876, Custer's regiment was detailed to the column under the commanding general, Alfred H. Terry, that marched from Bismarck to the Yellowstone River. At the mouth of the Rosebud, Terry sent Custer forward to locate the enemy while he marched on to join the column under Gen. John Gibbon. Custer came upon the warrior encampment on the Little Bighorn on June 25 and decided to attack at once. He divided his regiment into three parts, sending two of them, under Major Marcus A. Reno and Capt. Frederick W. Benteen, to attack farther upstream, while he himself led the third (a little over 200 men) in a direct charge. Every one of them was killed in battle. Reno and Benteen were themselves kept on the defensive, and not until Terry's arrival was the extent of the tragedy known.

Horatio Gates
You scored 40 Wisdom, 52 Tactics, 68 Guts, and 39 Ruthlessness!
You, like General Gates, have guts, but in the end you fail because you don't fully comprehend the art of war. Gates was originally a success because of the greatness of the men beneath him. But in the end, he failed because he didn't match their caliber. As the old saying goes, if you fail to plan, then plan to fail. But that being said, during Gates' prime, he was compared to Washington. Gates was bold and brazen and, one way or another, found a way to be an asset to the American Revolution.
American Revolutionary general, b. Maldon, Essex, England. Entering the British army at an early age, he fought in America in the French and Indian War and served in the expedition against Martinique. Later he resigned from the army, and returned to America to settle in what is now West Virginia. At the start of the American Revolution, he joined the colonial cause as a general and played a part in training American troops outside Boston. In 1776, Gates was given a command in the north under the supreme command of Philip J. Schuyler, whom he replaced as commander in the Saratoga campaign. His army overwhelmingly defeated the British under General Burgoyne, and the Continental Congress appointed Gates president of the board of war. His great victory was aided by the superb leadership of his generals Benedict Arnold and Daniel Morgan. At the time Gates was considered a serious rival of General Washington, and the aim of the so-called Conway Cabal was to make Gates commander in chief. Gates's part in this unsuccessful plan has never been fully determined. In June, 1780, he was ordered south to command in the Carolinas. In the Carolina campaign poorly organized supply, badly trained troops, and hasty planning paved the way for a disgraceful defeat at Camden. He was plunged into deep disgrace and was superseded by Nathanael Greene.

You, like Josef Stalin are smart, but your wisdom may be skewed by something (paranoia in Stalin's case, but it could be any number of things). You're intelligent, but absoulutely evil. That being said, you, like Stalin, get the job done. It might not be in the most scrupulous way imaginabe (in fact, more often then not, it's the exact opposite), but when push comes to shove, you achieve great things.
Soviet Communist leader and head of the USSR from the death of V. I. Lenin (1924) until his own death, b. Gori, Georgia. His real name was Dzhugashvili (also spelled Dzugashvili or Djugashvili); he adopted the name Stalin ( “man of steel” ) about 1913. Stalin is responsible for the deaths of millions upon millions of his own countrymen either through war or through starvation due to unmeetable quotas or in work camps scattered throughout the Soviet Union.

You scored 65 Wisdom, 31 Tactics, 75 Guts, and 65 Ruthlessness!
Like you, Grant went about the distasteful business of war realistically and grimly. His courage as a commander of forces and his powers of organization and administration made him the outstanding Northern general. Grant, though, had no problem throwing away lives on huge seiges of heavily defended positions. At times, Union casualties under Grant were over double that of the Confederacy. However, Grant was notably wise in supporting good commanders, especially Sheridan , William T. Sherman , and George H. Thomas. Made a full general in 1866, he was the first U.S. citizen to hold that rank.

[Axeknight]

It shouldn't be a surprise, but the Org owns the world on the Tactics variable ~D

[Reverend Joe]

Personally, I don't find my comparison to be fair, either.

When I am fighting simulated battles, I am a rigid tactician. I always try to use the hammer-and-anvil tactic, in the double envelopment style. I can deploy my troops effectively, and set up the battle well. After that, however, I often find myself riding by the seat of my pants. I do not react well to sudden change, and I often find myself desperately trying to force my enemy to fight the battle I want him to, while he tries to fight it his own way. This is why I have never fought in an online battle: I know I would fail miserably. Often when a gap is forced my lines, I try to keep fighting the same way, with the additional strain of trying to order my men to aqueeze the gap shut.

Short of winning, I try to force as much attrition as possible onto my enemy, so that his elite troops will be exhausted and reduced in number, and at best he will be delayed. Basically, when I can't win, I like to piss the other guy off by not giving up.

Personally, I see myself as being closer to one of the Persian Shahs, particularly Dariush III. The main difference is that I do not hesitate to send my general into the fray, and I have a feeling I would do the same if I was heading a Persian army. I can imagine this would have suprised Alexander at Gaugamela, if the Shah had gathered his royal guard and flung himself headlong into the Companions. I don't think I would win against Alexander, but I sure would give him a run for his money.

Chief Sitting Bull

You scored 54 Wisdom, 65 Tactics, 72 Guts, and 39 Ruthlessness!

You'd make a decent guerilla fighter. You are a tactical genius and you have the balls to back it up with some follow through. But that being said, you are most likely unwilling to torture an enemy soldier for information, because through all of the thick buffalo hides and that huge f*cking headdress, you have a heart.

Chief Sitting Bull rose to prominence in the Sioux warfare against the whites and the resistance of the Native Americans under his command to forced settlement on a reservation led to a punitive expedition. In the course of the resistance occurred the Native American victory on the Little Bighorn, where George Armstrong Custer and his men were defeated and killed on June 25, 1876. Sitting Bull and some of his followers escaped to Canada, but returned (1881) on a promise of a pardon and were settled on a reservation. In 1885 he appeared in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but his championship of the Native American cause was not at an end. He encouraged the Sioux to refuse to sell their lands, and he advocated the ghost dance religion. He was killed by Native American police on a charge of resisting arrest.

You are most like King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. You are ruthless and you live your life by the book. Little independent thinking, and lots of severed body parts for thinking it.
A son of Ibn Saud , the founder of Saudi Arabia, Fahd served as interior minister and was named crown prince by his half-brother King Khalid. He was a powerful shaper of Saudi foreign and domestic policy under Khalid, on whose death (1982) he succeeded to the throne. Fahd encouraged limited modernization of Saudi Arabia, but the new constitution that established an appointed consultative national council left unchanged the royal family's control of the government. As a result of his prolonged illness following a 1995 stroke, de facto authority rests with Crown Prince Abdullah, his half-brother.

General Edmund Kirby Smith was the last Confederate general to surrender in the Civil War. He lied to his troops to keep them fighting. If this sounds a little familiar, I'm not at all surprised.
Edmund Kirby-Smith, 1824-93, American soldier, Confederate general in the Civil War, b. St. Augustine, Fla. A West Point graduate, he was cited for gallantry in the Mexican War. A major when he resigned from the U.S. army (Mar., 1861) to fight for the Confederacy, he served in the Shenandoah under J. E. Johnston, and fought at Bull Run (July). Smith led the Confederate advance into Kentucky and defeated a Union force at Richmond, Kentucky. He ably commanded the isolated Trans-Mississippi Department and was promoted to general in Feb., 1864. The unsuccessful Red River campaign of Nathaniel P. Banks was directed against his forces. Smith was the last Confederate general to surrender.

Leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 BC. Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.

Tarleton arrived in America with General Cornwallis and was a member of the patrol that captured General Charles Lee at Basking Ridge, N.J. He served with William Howe at Brandywine, Germantown, and Philadelphia. Tarleton went to Carolina as leader of a mixed force of cavalry and infantry and distinguished himself at Charleston and in the Carolina campaign before he was overwhelmed by Daniel Morgan at Cowpens. After the battle of Guilford Courthouse, he retreated into Virginia and was active in the Yorktown campaign. However, Tarleton is best known for stabbing the bodies of dead and injured revolutionaries to ensure that they wouldn't fight again.

Colonel Tarleton
You scored 54 Wisdom, 70 Tactics, 36 Guts, and 44 Ruthlessness!
Tarleton... well, what can I say for a man who kills the wounded on the battlefield? Tarleton was a great tactician and cavalryman, and although he wasn't quite as evil as his counterpart in "The Patriot", Tarleton's morals were very definitely somewhat skewed. Now what does that about you?
Tarleton arrived in America with General Cornwallis and was a member of the patrol that captured General Charles Lee at Basking Ridge, N.J. He served with William Howe at Brandywine, Germantown, and Philadelphia. Tarleton went to Carolina as leader of a mixed force of cavalry and infantry and distinguished himself at Charleston and in the Carolina campaign before he was overwhelmed by Daniel Morgan at Cowpens. After the battle of Guilford Courthouse, he retreated into Virginia and was active in the Yorktown campaign. However, Tarleton is best known for stabbing the bodies of dead and injured revolutionaries to ensure that they wouldn't fight again.

I think the test is a little unclear in some questions. For example: "will you retreat or attack" in a number of questions. I need to know my own strength, who has had the momentum so far in the war, as much info as possible about enemy's strategical strength, and so on in order to choose. If I know little I tend to choose not to attack, or at least send in recon first.

Scipio? He was a slow, infantry bound dofus.

[Red Harvest]

And? He won, no?

Scipio was an excellent general, but he faced Hannibal with the deck heavily stacked against Hannibal. Hannibal was using a scratch force, many recent levies mixed with his veterans, and Scipio had effectively stolen Hannibal's cavalry arm. Still, Hannibal nearly pulled off the upset.

The better general? Hannibal. But that is no slight to Scipio or his skills. They both played their hands well, and that is why it was a closely run thing. Had Hannibal had the service of Masinissa instead of Scipio, then the battle would almost certainly have turned the other way. Even so, Carthage was on the ropes, and a battlefield victory would not save it.

Ok, be honest now, what did you vote on this one, no need to be ashamed even if you did vote 4 ~;) :

Recent intel tells you that an enemy munitions dump has been hidden in the basement of a very large civilian hospital. It isn't feasable to send in ground troops to take the hospital, but the destruction of this dump would cripple local resistance. Your orders, General?

-Airstrike the hospital. It has to be done to save our mens' lives.
-No. We can't kill innocents. It'll have to wait.
-No. We can't suffer the bad public relations. It'll have to wait.
-Airstrike the hospital.... and while you're there, hit the elementary school... oh, and the orphanage too.

:balloon2:

I voted 1. If these munitions indeed are being stored there, the death of innocent people is not my problem, but my enemy who put them there.

Scipio? He was a slow, infantry bound dofus.

:dizzy2: "Gah! Ack! Sputter!"

Well, he may have been an "infantry bound dofus" as you so eloquently put it, but that doofus chased/lured Hannibal out of Italy, diverted him from his main target, and across the sea and then opened a big fat can of Roman whoop ass on Hannibal and beat him on his own turf.

You can look at it ten ways from Sunday, but at the end of each and every way - Scipio beat Hannibal.

And you know why he beat him?

'Cause he gave a dose of this...

Not true, I respect ones with non horse archer cavalry that used cavalry properly. Like Hannibal, or William the Bastard or even Alexander. Romans did not use cavalry properly, IMHO, at least until the rise of Constantinople.
I can respect people like the Celts who, while being primarily infantry fighters, had pretty damn good cavalry for being Westerners.


You can look at it ten ways from Sunday, but at the end of each and every way - Scipio beat Hannibal.

I took the test again, taking more time and answering with what I'd really do, not my first impulse. You guessed it:

Scipio
You scored 72 Wisdom, 87 Tactics, 55 Guts, and 63 Ruthlessness!
You're most simillar to Scipio in the fact that you're smart and ruthless. Scipio beat Hannibal by luring him back from Western Europe (where he was crushing legion after legion of Roman soldiers trying to gain support from local tribes) by laying seige to his home country of Carthage. Hannibal returned to defend his home and was defeated at the Battle of Zama. Ruthless, but it worked.

Scipio was the conqueror of Hannibal in the Punic Wars. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio, and from a very early age he considered himself to have divine inspiration. He was with his father at the Ticino (218), and he survived Cannae (216). The young Scipio was elected (c.211) to the proconsulship in Spain. He conquered New Carthage (Cartagena) almost at once (209) and used the city as his own base; within several years he had conquered Spain. As consul in 205, Scipio wanted to invade Africa, but his jealous enemies in the senate granted him permission to go only as far as Sicily and gave him no army. He trained a volunteer army in Sicily. In 204 he received permission to go to Africa, where he joined his allies the Numidians and fought with success against the Carthaginians. In 202, Hannibal crossed to Africa and tried to make peace, but Scipio's demands were so extreme that war resulted; Scipio defeated Hannibal at Zama (202), returned home in triumph, and retired from public life. He was named Africanus after the country he conquered. His pride aggravated the hatred of his enemies, especially Cato the Elder , who accused the Scipio family of receiving bribes in the campaign against Antiochus III in which Scipio had accompanied (190) his brother. It was only through the influence of his son-in-law, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, that Scipio was saved from ruin. He retired into the country and ordered that his body might not be buried in his ungrateful city. Later he revealed his great magnanimity by his attempt to prevent the ruin of the exiled Hannibal by Rome.

Eh.. I recently finished a book called "Hitler and his Generals".. actually its not really a book but a record of all the important military meetings from Stalingrad onward. Its really fascinating.

Anyway, Hitler did know the military quite well for his position. I doubt FDR, Stalin, or even Churchill - well maybe Churchill - had the same expertise.

Thats not to say Hitler would be a good general - but that wasnt his job. He did know the military though.

Why am I not surprised? :bow:

Odd that you got Hitler with those scores though. As far as I know, Hitler's tactical exploits are not well-recorded. He was an officer in the First World War, and nobody cared to record how well he did. And, well, your wisdom is surely too high for a hitler. Then again, people have trouble looking past the evil part of him (and with good reason!), and trying to see what made him tick.
Hitler was not an officer in the First World War, he was a corporal. He was a messenger between the command posts, whcih was quite a dnagerous job.

[econ21]

*ducks* I thought a Corporal was an officer.

Going off topic, I've heard it said that it is telling Hitler was not made an officer. Despite his intelligence, drive, leadership ability and proven bravery (he got an Iron Cross), it is as if his superiors thought something was not quite right with him.

[King Henry V]

The thing wrong with him was that he low-class Austrian. They didn't really take in such people to be officers in the German army.

[AggonyDuck]

Actually the critics of Scipio should read about his tactics at the Battle of Ilipa 206 BC. I just find his maneuvers in the battle rather beautiful, but still very simple. Anyways it's a nice battle to read about for inspiration when playing TW. To be honest I think Hannibal was a better general than Scipio, but Scipio was an excellent general too, although maybe not possessing the brilliance of Hannibal.

[Shaka_Khan]

I see a lot of Erwin Rommels here.
I got:





Erwin Rommel



You scored 56 Wisdom, 70 Tactics, 46 Guts, and 39 Ruthlessness!

You're most comparable to German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in the fact that you have very strong tactical skills and morales. However, Rommel lost in Africa despite the fact that his logicians had told him time and time again that the English were planning to shut off his supply lines. Rommel lost North Africa, because the English shut off his supply lines. The moral of this story... Listen to your logicians. And guard your damn supply lines! But that being said, Rommel was one of the greatest strategic and tactical minds of our day. Had he overrun Egypt (which was a definite possibility at the time), World War II may have turned out significantly differently then it did.
Erwin Rommel entered the army in 1910 and rose slowly through the ranks. In 1939, Adolf Hitler made him a general. Rommel brilliantly commanded an armored division in the attack (1940) on France. In Feb., 1941, he took the specially trained tank corps, the Afrika Korps, into Libya. For his successes there he was made field marshal and earned the name 뱓he desert fox.?In 1942 he pressed almost to Alexandria, Egypt, but was stalled by fierce British resistance and lack of supplies. A British offensive overwhelmed (Oct.-Nov., 1942) the German forces at Alamein (see North Africa, campaigns in ). Rommel was recalled to Germany before the Afrika Korps's final defeat. He was a commander in North France when the Allies invaded Normandy in June, 1944. Allied success led Rommel, who had lost his respect for Hitler, to agree to a plot to remove Hitler from office. Wounded in an air raid in July, he had just recovered when he was forced to take poison because of his part in the attempt on Hitler's life in July, 1944.

Other leaders like yourself include Patton and MacArthur.

You're reckless... a little like Custer. Make sure you know what you're up against before you charge into battle. But, that being said, Custer was one of the more successful generals of his day. He was a graduate of West Point and one of the more senior officers in the Union army. Custer had a distinguished career until his untimely demise at Little Bighorn.
In the comprehensive campaign against the Sioux planned in 1876, Custer's regiment was detailed to the column under the commanding general, Alfred H. Terry, that marched from Bismarck to the Yellowstone River. At the mouth of the Rosebud, Terry sent Custer forward to locate the enemy while he marched on to join the column under Gen. John Gibbon. Custer came upon the warrior encampment on the Little Bighorn on June 25 and decided to attack at once. He divided his regiment into three parts, sending two of them, under Major Marcus A. Reno and Capt. Frederick W. Benteen, to attack farther upstream, while he himself led the third (a little over 200 men) in a direct charge. Every one of them was killed in battle. Reno and Benteen were themselves kept on the defensive, and not until Terry's arrival was the extent of the tragedy known.

George McClellan
You scored 65 Wisdom, 74 Tactics, 46 Guts, and 40 Ruthlessness!

Like General McClellan, you're smart enough to know what tactical decisions to make. However, the problem with McClellan is that he could never sprout the balls to act on his information, and in the end, that's why Geoge McClellan is only a sidenote in the history books.
After graduating from West Point, he served with distinction in the Mexican War and later worked on various engineering projects, notably on the survey (1853-54) for a Northern Pacific RR route across the Cascade Range. Resigning from the army in 1857, he was a railroad official until the outbreak of the Civil War. In May, 1861, McClellan was made commander of the Dept. of the Ohio and a major general in the regular army. He cleared the western part of Virginia of Confederates (June-July, 1861) and consequently, after the Union defeat in the first battle of Bull Run, was given command of the troops in and around Washington. In November he became general in chief. The administration, reflecting public opinion, pressed for an early offensive, but McClellan insisted on adequate training and equipment for his army. In Mar., 1862, he was relieved of his supreme command, but he retained command of the Army of the Potomac, with which in Apr., 1862, he initiated the Peninsular campaign . The collapse of this campaign after the Seven Days battles was charged by many to his overcaution. In Aug., 1862, most of McClellan's troops were reassigned to the Army of Virginia under John Pope . After Pope's defeat at the second battle of Bull Run, McClellan again reorganized the Union forces, and in the Antietam campaign he checked Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North. He was slow, however, to follow Lee across the Potomac and in Nov., 1862, was removed from his command.

Scipio
You scored 72 Wisdom, 77 Tactics, 59 Guts, and 70 Ruthlessness!
You're most simillar to Scipio in the fact that you're smart and ruthless. Scipio beat Hannibal by luring him back from Western Europe (where he was crushing legion after legion of Roman soldiers trying to gain support from local tribes) by laying seige to his home country of Carthage. Hannibal returned to defend his home and was defeated at the Battle of Zama. Ruthless, but it worked.
Scipio was the conqueror of Hannibal in the Punic Wars. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio, and from a very early age he considered himself to have divine inspiration. He was with his father at the Ticino (218), and he survived Cannae (216). The young Scipio was elected (c.211) to the proconsulship in Spain. He conquered New Carthage (Cartagena) almost at once (209) and used the city as his own base; within several years he had conquered Spain. As consul in 205, Scipio wanted to invade Africa, but his jealous enemies in the senate granted him permission to go only as far as Sicily and gave him no army. He trained a volunteer army in Sicily. In 204 he received permission to go to Africa, where he joined his allies the Numidians and fought with success against the Carthaginians. In 202, Hannibal crossed to Africa and tried to make peace, but Scipio's demands were so extreme that war resulted; Scipio defeated Hannibal at Zama (202), returned home in triumph, and retired from public life. He was named Africanus after the country he conquered. His pride aggravated the hatred of his enemies, especially Cato the Elder , who accused the Scipio family of receiving bribes in the campaign against Antiochus III in which Scipio had accompanied (190) his brother. It was only through the influence of his son-in-law, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, that Scipio was saved from ruin. He retired into the country and ordered that his body might not be buried in his ungrateful city. Later he revealed his great magnanimity by his attempt to prevent the ruin of the exiled Hannibal by Rome.
