Might you enlighten me with the former and persuade me with the latter?

My own fav commanders are Caesar Borgia and Alexander Farnesse .The reason? No more than the damned deadly good-look.

Favourite Military leaders:

1. Chengiz Khan (The ultimate warrior. Spelt CORRECTLY!)


2. Sandracottus (Chandragupta Maurya. Defeated Nictator's Greek/Macedonian armies & united 75% of S Asia for the 1st time under 1 Empire)

3. Atilla the Hun (Nearly desroyed the Western Roman Empire YAY!, stopped bcoz pope threatened to rape his children if he didn't).


4.  Robert  de Bruce (Scottish king defeated the larger armies of Edward the 2nd at Bannockburn. Originator of famous kids tale of the persistent spider in the cave.)


6. Chhhatrapati Shivaji Bhonsle: 1st Maratha king. Lived and breathed war. Tactical genius who mastered the art of guerrila warfare in the western ghats USING CAVALRY. Defeated the  main force of the Mughal army  and their mercenaries several times, despite being vastly outnumbered and outgunned every time).

6.  Tipu Sultan, son of Haider Ali:=18th Cent S Indian Warlord who might have succeeded in throwing the Poms out (with a little help from Bonaparte) were it not for a betrayal by one of his key generals.


7. Lord Horatio Nelson: A pom, I know, but he was a smart dude and had balls. Wom battle of Traflagar & died there.
