The 7 greatest generals

[skb777]

These lists are generally a bit of a nonsense because the criteria are not set out.

Alexander the great was a 'great' general undoubetedly in my mind. George Washington? Not a chance of being in the top 7, and I say that as someone who is a keen student of the AWI. He wasn't even the best 'general' of the AWI. But he had other statesman qualities.

No Genghis Khan, Hannibal, Li Yuan (Tang dynasty) even John Monash (revolutionary combined-arms tactics changed WW1). There's probably several others but but only 7 and no criteria described? Gimmicky stuff.

If they had created this list 250 years after ATG death he'd have been top due to the impact of his campaigns, let's see were Washington is in the year 3576AD.
