AP, Washington was almost unsurpassed in one area: the ability to keep a consistently defeated army together long enough to outlast a superior opponent. I'd say he's like Sam Houston: a total loser until he won everything. In that way he was a reverse Antiochus.

Oh, and Africanvs, how can you discuss Alexander's flair for planning without mentioning that he besieged and captured a fortified island? That's one of the most amazing feats of military engineering in history.
