    Default Results of Round 1

    Some were shoe ins, actually most were.

    In any event, 2nd of April, I will open these polls.

    Alexander the Great vs. Julius Caesar (Plutarch anyone?)
    Hannibal Barca vs Nelson

    Round 2, who will rise above the others on their battlefield merits?
    While Nelson vs. Barca is going to be interesting, you want to compare their records, and decide who you would want leading your nation's forces.

    Good Hunting.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    I disagree.
    Hannibal and Caesar for the finals. No doubt.

    Nah...Alexander and Nelson are well-known for their undefeated military campaign, both were triumphed. While Hannibal and Caesar were nearly the same, their final fate were not as good as the former two (Hannibal was defeated and killed in the final battle in Italy, while Caesar was assasinated by some of his close associates)

    Hannibal commited suicide in Bynthinia (?) after fighting the Romans across the Mediterranean. His final battle was also in Africa.

    Doh..I was confusing Hannibal with Hasdrubal, but yeah and still, Hannibal was defeated too just like his brother, only that he's defeated at his homeland Carthage.
