	Throughout History, What General Are You Most Like ? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Michael sees himself as Lee, I think.
To me, he's more of a J.E.B. Stuart.


For me, it's James Longstreet.

Who are you ? sounds familiar.
From ANY time in history.
Don't get hung up on my opening post.

I havnt decided yet.It could be alexander(the great) of velisarius.The one had great political abilities as well as being the best general of his time but the other achieved stunning victories,often against impossible odds (as in africa against the bandals) served under an emperror who(besides being the sick little fundy freak he was,ol good justinian ) was paranoid about him and died of old age adored by the people.Propably velisarius

He didn't conquer all of China, nor did he lose the parts he did conquer...

His sucessors sure beat the piss out of Russia, though, didn't they?

I'm talking about Mongolia here, not the man himself. Can you not see that?!

That's only because Russia was extremly divided at the time.

Nah, we are talking about the Golden Horde and not the Great Khanate.

Tassadar, had Russia been united, the Mongols would have conquered all of it instead of letting Novgorod keep a semblance of independence.

Ok. Time out.
This isn't a ****ing debate.
It's not necessary to challenge someone's choice.
After all, this isn't a Greatest General danged question.

Move on.

If we're talking how I play Civ, it's rather like a mix of Grant and Sherman. I don't have the patience to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. I use onslaughts of superior forces combined with a slash-and-burn technique of cutting my opponent's territory into pieces through pillaging terrain.

Uhm, other than that...er...Longstreet maybe? I'm usually the voice of reason when friends are contemplating really bad ideas.

I didn't say Civ, but that can certainly be a consideration for the strategy employed.
Generally, Civ play reflects personality, which is also a consideration.

Oh yeah. Thanks for the thought applied in answer.
Unlike SOME, who will go unidentified.

I said Genghis Khan because I have a hankering to put the entire population of some random Central Asian city to the sword. Is that an acceptable reason?

Slow and stubborn, that's about right.

Though I greatly admire General Lee, I'm a Jackson man all the way.

Sadly in government I've met many, many General Steele type people. In fact I was just talking to one - totally off his trolley but quite senior so in the conversation I did my best Henry Blake

I'm not sure right now. But I do know I would not pick a general that was on the losing side of a war, so that leaves out all Confederate generals of the Civil War.
