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

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.

Erwin Rommel.

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.

yay!

[BDC]

Woohoo I'm Rommel, the Nazi who nearly killed Hitler.

How morally confusing.

[Steppe Merc]

Rommel??

I thought it was wrong so I took it again, and I got Rommel again. How strange...

Why couldn't I get a general I liked, like Sitting Bull, Vercingetorix, or Hannibal? Or one I respect, like Chingis Khan?

   <table align="center" cellpadding="20"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <font size="5"><b>Horatio Gates</b></font><br> You scored 51 Wisdom, 52 Tactics, 62 Guts,  and 39 Ruthlessness! </td> </tr> <tr> <td>
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.
<p>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. </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/users/708/870/7088714327834954884/mt1117652672.jpg"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <br><br><br> <table cellpadding="20"> <tbody><tr> <td> <span id="comparisonarea">My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people <i>your age and gender</i>:<blockquote><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tbody><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="17"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="133"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>11%</b> on <b>Wisdom</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="32"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="118"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>21%</b> on <b>Tactics</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="102"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="48"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>68%</b> on <b>Guts</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="35"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="115"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>23%</b> on <b>Ruthlessness</b></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></span> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table cellpadding=20><tr><td>Link: <a href='http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=13827291814577368116'>The Which Historic General Are You Test</a> written by <a href='http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=7088714327834954884'>dasnyds</a> on <a  href='http://www.okcupid.com'>Ok Cupid</a></td></tr></table>

Adolf Eichmann

I read in "Op.JB" this guy was rescued by the Allies, because he knew the secret codes of the Swiss Bank accounts and 95% of the Nazi Loot was returned to their rightful owners.
