[CountArach]

Scipio Africanus, my favourite general of the time period, quite possibly of all time.

[Tiberius of the Drake]

I voted for Hannibal Barca. though it was a toss up between him and Alexander the great. I consider these two to be the most strategiccally brilliant generals of all time. They inspired the more modern generals with their tactics. If Hannibal and Alexander had lived in the same time period i believe they would have fought to a draw. But I didnt vote for Scipio Africanus because he won more because of political intrigue on the side of the anti-barcids and Numidians as oppossed to actual strategic skill. At Zama he basically copied what Hannibal did at Cannae 14 years earlier. And Julius Caesar was more of a political mastermind than a strategic general. Yes he was a great General dont get me wrong, but he did loose more than he cared to admit in Commentaries de Bello Gallico and really took rome through the brilliant use of propaganda and inspiring loyallty of his troops as his uncle, Marius, had done.
