Fastest general

[Rodion Romanovich]

Hey all,

So I was browsing lazily through the Monastery, and bumped into several topics about who is the "greatest" general. Since I consider that to be a silly point, as "greatness" is nothing but propaganda passed on, I wish to compile and cross check generals with more tangible qualities.

So my first one is speed. Feel free to suggest generals that moved the greatest amount of troops, on foot (and pre 1915, as cars, tanks, and other witchcraft began massproducing), through the greatest distance in the shortest time.

If there is enough of a push, maybe I will consider a cavalry section too.

We need: Name, year, Rank, amount of men under command, distance travelled, and geographical location.

Ready.


Go!

Genghis Khan of course! His armies moved at speeds and distances comparable only to motorized armies of ww2.

Which is another reason why I was questioning whether the use of horses mattered.
