    Most of the issues with Rommel receiving more votes I believe was addressed in the last round.

    Wavell beating the Italians in North Africa can't really be counted as brilliance. Most of the Italians were foot infantry, and the few tanks they had were inferior in quality. Once the small mobile part of the Italian army was eliminated, rounding up the foot-bound infantry was easy. At any rate, Wavell was not the equal to Rommel.

    Instead of Mao, say Zhu De (or Lin Biao). Instead of Ho Chi Minh, say Vo Nguyen Giap.

    Patton vs. Zhukov would've been cool.

    Subutai, however, will destroy all

    Well Mannerheim wasnt even in the poll to begin with.I wonder why he is not usually even mentioned in these kind of things, while he was the only commander that actually stopped a Soviet Strategig offensive on the Eastern front.

    Will round 3 be starting anytime soon?

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.
