What kind of general are you?

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.

I'm definitely a cavalry commander/general..

A Shout, A Charge and a glorious death is my favourite battleplan - up the hill, into the arrow storm, onto the spear points and forwards to victory is my favourite stlye of play, although recently I have been experimenting with swinging my infantry round pike blocks and messing about with an Armenian army heavy on the archery side of things, but this cant compare (in my opinion) with watching the weedy foe run away because a big scary german shouted at them.
Also, numbers count. Whatever I pick I like it in bulk and this tends to discourage me from using elite units unless I'm playing in a high denaii game.
Watching the enemy disappear under the human wave is quite satisfying.

True indeed but enter a battle highly outnumbered and win is great fun

recently in rome i have been using more and more artillery in battle. So my standard rome battle would be. bomb the enemy and destroy all his pathetic flankings with cavalry. Then I decimate all attacks the enemy attempt to do with ranged units before they reach my lines. If im attacker i move my entire line foreward and just charge right in (including flankings)
