There are now 3 commanders mentioned from the loosing side in the 30-year war in the Early modern bracket in spite of them having the odds on their side and almost constantly being outwitted, outsmarted, outmanouvered and outblasted by the resourcelacking winning side
If you could give a reasonable explanation of including them (Wallenstein, Tilly and Piccolomini) and not Banér and Torstensson I would be surprised.
Not including Charles X in the same bracket is also beyond belief. Not only did he have supreme command of Swedish forces at the end of 30-year war, he also crippled Poland and made one of the most daring and surprising military manouvers in history when he forced the treaty of Roskilde on the Danes.
