What kind of general are you?

I kind of like an engineering approach to a battle. I'll bring some heavy infantry, maybe some cavalry and archers, but give me some heavy duty artillery, and I'm happy. I do enjoy a good siege too, sweeping the enemy off the walls, then crushing them in the streets...

i barely ever use artillery but i have a few onager units for sieges!

Combined arms.

And I don't leave home without a few spearmen.

heavy cavalry and infantry are my best friends.

Specialist Infantry Commander (IIRC that's the term in RTW). If you looked at my Roman formation in my guide, that's exactly how I use my formations in RTW (playing as a Roman).

It varies a bit in Shogun and MTW because the balancing was different.

A Total Loser, Cheater, and Weakling.

I am proud to be a general.

I like to think I apply the Nelson touch (ie, in the absence of anything better to do, get your units alongside the enemy and start killing things.) Consequently I favour heavy infantry...

I can just about spell enfilade, and I'm quite willing to allow a few posh guys on horses to nob about somewhere on the battlefield pretending to be important, but IMHO the decisive moment is the clash of the hairy loonies.
