Tilly, Wallenstein, Piccolomini and even Gallas to some degree were all great generals who deserve having their names in the bracket, but why exclude the Swedish generals of the time who were equally capable and actually won the war, despite the odds being against them?

It would be nice if Marshal Murat was open to discussion and actually tried to answer comments and give response on suggestions. Right now it feels as if he (I'll use he as I'm not sure whether he'll respond to this or not, or if he'll even read it) just picks the generals that sound good and drop the rest.
