    Bonnie "Prince" Charlie, was nothing but a damned Frenchman through and through. He had not an ounce of Scot in him. He was not British, niether was he a general.
    Cornwallis I suppose was famous, but only for his failures.
    Sir John Moore and Churchill are two good ones.

    The austrian Daun was a great general - in my opinion the only one who could be comparable with Frederik(Friedrich) the Great of Prussia during the 7 years war.
    Well perhaps the russian Saltikov could be mentioned also.

    Otto von Bismarck isn't included in this game? Or was he not around at that time?

    He was the Prime Minister, and he did command the army at some point.
